Gaganyaan Mission- One Step Closer to Man to Moon

In the wake of the successful landing of Chandryaan-3 on the moon's south pole and Aditya L1's mission to study the sun, India is yet again set to imprint its baby steps with the Gaganyaan Mission 2023. Under the oversight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ISRO is ready to take off its first-ever flight for the Gaganyaan Mission. The first test capsule for the Gaganyaan mission, TV-D1 took off on 21st October by 10:00 a.m. at Sriharikota Centre, Andhra Pradesh and is anticipated to return in three days.

The launch of TV-D1 is the first step towards the Gaganyaan Mission, under which the Indian Government aims to construct a 'Bharatiya Antariksha Station’ (Indian Space Station) by 2035 and land the first Indian astronaut on the Moon by 2040.?The Indian government has planned a three-day mission to send astronauts into low-Earth orbit at a height of 400 kilometers by 2025. The purpose of this launch was explained by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman S. Somanath, who, while announcing the goal of the Gaganyaan First Flight Mission, said, " I am very happy to announce the successful accomplishment of the TV-D1 mission. The purpose of this mission was to demonstrate the crew escape system for the Gaganyaan program through a test vehicle demonstration in which the vehicle went up to a Mach number, which is slightly above the speed of sound, and initiated an abort condition for the crew escape system to function." - The Economic Times - Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission successful: ISRO Chief S Somanath - October 21, 2023. The main objective of the TV-D1 launch was to analyze and reckon the test vehicle subsystems, flight demonstrations, and evaluations of the crew escape system with respect to the functioning of the parachutes along with the separation of the sub-systems.

This mission holds great significance for the Make in India initiative by the Indian government. DefSpace being a leading platform that serves the Make in India Initiative opens up opportunities for Indian Space Manufacturing companies to explore and help India make this Gaganyaan mission successful with an easy procurement method. India is on its way to marking the greatest achievement in history, and being a part of one such mission is a source of great pride.
