ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said three uncrewed missions will be conducted before India’s Gaganyaan human spaceflight. He highlighted the importance of mission operations and ongoing preparations, adding that timelines and further details will be announced at an appropriate time
ISRO has successfully completed qualification tests of drogue parachutes for its Gaganyaan mission at TBRL’s RTRS facility in Chandigarh. The tests validate a critical deceleration system required for safe re-entry and human spaceflight
ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said 90 per cent of the Gaganyaan mission’s development is complete. Three uncrewed missions, including Vyommitra’s flight, will precede the crewed launch planned for early 2027, following successful air-drop tests of the crew module’s parachute system
ISRO successfully conducted the first Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-01) of the Gaganyaan mission’s parachute system near Sriharikota, validating a key safety mechanism for crew module recovery. The project, India’s first human spaceflight programme, will also include precursor unmanned missions
Announcing the proposal during the 'Space on Wheels' exhibition organised at Department of ECE here on Thursday, OU registrar Prof. P Laximnarayana said permanent display of models of launch vehicles at OU campus will enrich practical learning experiences of students besides encouraging them to take-up research in space technology
