Gaganyaan mission: All you need to know about TV-D1 test flight's successful launch

The mission is expected to give Isro multiple invaluable lessons to plan the eventual human spaceflight mission, the Gaganyaan, which in itself will be the first step towards more ambitious goals of setting up a space station and sending astronauts to Moon. Saturday’s mission is only the first of several abort tests that Isro has planned before it attempts the first uncrewed mission, multiple of which will serve as the precursor to the crewed mission planned in 2025.
