The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) unveiled images of the Gaganyaan spacecraft, scheduled for a December 2024 manned space mission. ISRO announced imminent unmanned flight tests, focusing on the Flight Test Vehicle Abort Mission-1 (TV-D1) to showcase the Crew Escape System's performance. The Gaganyaan project aims to demonstrate India's capability in launching a crew of two to three members into a 400 km circular orbit around Earth for a one-to-three-day mission, followed by a safe return landing in the Indian sea waters. Successful tests will pave the way for further qualifications, leading to the inaugural Gaganyaan mission with Indian astronauts. (Image Courtesy: ISRO)
