India's space agency, ISRO, achieved a significant milestone in its Gaganyaan Mission as it successfully tested the Crew Escape System. The test, conducted using the Test Vehicle (TV-D1) at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, validated crucial motors for astronaut safety, including low-altitude, high-altitude, and jettisoning motors. The system, akin to fighter jet ejection seats, safeguards astronauts by ejecting them to a safe distance in case of emergencies. ISRO's success paves the way for India's first manned space mission, with plans to send astronauts by 2025 and explore the Moon by 2040.
