 Gaganyaan Mission: How ISRO relaunched the rocket after fixing bugs in under 45 minutes. 10 revisions

The Gaganyaan crewed orbital mission's first unmanned test flight was successfully launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Three people will be sent into Earth orbit by ISRO in 2025, serving as a crucial test of the space agency's technological prowess.

After the rocket was put on hold for a while around 8:45 am on Saturday, the launch proved difficult. But after analyzing the issue, the researchers were able to fix it in only 45 minutes and try again with the launch.

The test vehicle TV-D1 successfully took off from Sriharikota at 10 a.m. The crew module of the rocket, which disengaged from the thruster and landed softly in the water approximately ten minutes after launch, conducted a test of its emergency escape mechanism.

UPDATES on the Gaganyaan Mission LIVE

Ten updates on ISRO's Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission are provided below:

1. An important component of ISRO's ambitious human space program Gaganyaan, the Flight Test Vehicle Abort program, was initially scheduled to launch at 8 am. But subsequently, the time was changed to 8:30 AM. The Test Vehicle D1 lift-off could not take place at 8:45 AM, nevertheless.

2. The Satish Dhawan Space Centre's displays displayed "hold" during the final countdown, causing the TV-D1 liftoff to be delayed twice.

3. According to ISRP Chairman S. Somanath, the TV-D1 rocket's engine activation did not occur over time.

4. Later, ISRO changed the rocket launch's time to 10 a.m.

5. The rocket was expertly relaunched after 45 minutes by ISRO experts, who also succeeded in separating the crew module and crew escape.

6. The TV-D1 project required sending a module into orbit and returning it back to test the crew escape mechanism of the spacecraft that had landed in the Bay of Bengal.

 The rocket launched on Saturday tested the crew module's emergency escape mechanism before its crew module detachment and gentle water landing around 10 minutes after launch.

7. The Gaganyaan Mission has received a budget of around 90 billion rupees.

8. The Gaganyaan mission aims to create a spacecraft that can house three people and travel 400 kilometers (250 miles) into space before crashing down in the Indian Ocean.

9. Prior to the last human trip in 2025, ISRO will carry out a series of 20 significant experiments, including sending a robot into space.

10. India also intends to send a second probe to the Moon in collaboration with Japan by 2025, as well as an orbital mission to Venus within the next two years.
