ISRO has revealed its Mission Gaganyaan test flight schedule. The TV-D1 test flight is scheduled for 21st October 2023, at SDSC-SHAR in Sriharikota, from 7 am to 9 am. This test will assess the capsule's effectiveness and emergency escape system. ISRO's aim is to send three astronauts into low-earth orbit by year-end. The crew module (CM) will launch unpressurised on an indigenous LVM-3 rocket with various stages. The Gaganyaan mission will comprise a three-member crew orbiting in an orbital module 400 km from Earth for three days before a safe return. Astronaut training is ongoing in Bengaluru, covering simulations, fitness, and mission-related academics.
