Design to last-leg of re-entry, abort test will help Isro get Gaganyaan-ready

IndiaTimes Friday, 20 October 2023
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is conducting an 8.8-minute mission to test an abort condition for its future human spaceflight mission, Gaganyaan. The test will simulate an anomaly and allow the crew module to perform tumbling manoeuvres, deploy parachutes, and land in a designated spot at sea. Isro scientists hope the test will provide critical data on crew safety systems and insights into the re-entry phase of the mission. The mission is the first in a series of abort tests planned before the uncrewed mission and the crewed mission in 2025.
