Gaganyaan mission: The Gaganyaan project envisages a demonstration of human spaceflight capability by launching a crew of three members into an orbit of 400 km for a 3-day mission and bringing them safely back to earth by landing in Indian waters.
ISRO Chief S Somanath said that the engine ignition has not happened in the nominal course and that they would have to find out what went wrong. The vehicle is safe.
ISRO has said that there will be more such test flight launches in the future to demonstrate the performance of the crew escape system of the Gaganyaan mission.
Gaganyaan mission: ISRO Chairman S Somanath said that the first test vehicle flight will be conducted on October 21. After that we have planned for three more test missions, D2, D3, D4. We will hold thorough tests during the test flight sequence.
The test flight can be watched LIVE from 0730 Hours (IST) on October 21. Students and the general public can witness the launch from Sriharikota, by registering on the portal. Registration commenced on October 17 at 6 pm.
The Gaganyaan project envisages a demonstration of human spaceflight capability by launching a human crew to an orbit of 400 km and bringing them safely back to Earth by landing in Indian sea waters.
Mission Gaganyaan: TV-D1 involves launching the crew module to outer space, bringing it back to earth and recovering it after touchdown in the Bay of Bengal.
About ISRO's maiden mission to study the Sun, Somanath said the spacecraft is ‘very healthy’ and is on a 110-day long journey to the Lagrange point L1 and is expected to reach the intended destination by “middle of January.”
At the Cancun Planetarium, young visitors built box projectors to indirectly and safely view the ring of fire. The ancient Maya may have used dark volcanic glass to protect their eyes, said archeologist Arturo Montero of Tepeyac University in Mexico City.
Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar south pole on August 23, making India the first country to land on the uncharted surface.
NASA Psyche mission: NASA expects the test to yield more than 10 times the amount of data, enough to transmit videos from the moon or Mars one day. The spacecraft should have soared a year ago, but was held up by delays in flight software testing attributed to poor management and other issues.
The precise measurement of the gathered samples, initially estimated at around 250 grams or approximately a cupful, will be established when the primary sample container is unsealed, expected to transpire within the coming fortnight.
The test vehicle development flight (TV-D1) will be conducted to check the crew module that is scheduled to house Indian astronauts during human spaceflight in 2024.
Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 rocket was successfully accomplished by ISRO on September 2. Aditya-L1 spacecraft carries a total of seven different payloads to study the Sun.
Chandrayaan- 3 mission: India scripted history on August 23 becoming the first country to touch down near the lunar south pole; and the fourth in the world to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface.
Mission Gaganyaan: The Gaganyaan project would demonstrate India's capability of taking a crew of two to three members to a circular orbit of about 400 km around the Earth for a one-to-three-day mission and bring them back safely to Earth.
Gaganyaan mission: According to ISRO officials, the Gaganyaan project would demonstrate India's capability of taking a crew of two to three members to a circular orbit of about 400 km around the earth for a one-to-three days mission and bring them back safely to earth.
According to scientists, the chances of Bennu colliding with the Earth are only 0.037 percent and when this happens 1200 megatons of energy will be released that can be 24 times more harmful than a nuclear blast.
NASA estimates that more than 10,000 satellites have been launched into space since 1957, with over half of them now defunct. There are over 25,000 pieces of space debris measuring over 10cm long, posing risks to operational satellites and even human activities such as spacewalks.
Conventional vaccines function by instructing the human immune system to identify a virus or bacteria as a threat that needs to be combated. However, the newly developed vaccine takes a radically different approach, erasing the immune system's memory of a specific molecule.
