Test Vehicle Mission

After more than four months in orbit, NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has achieved full deployment. The solar sail, which launched aboard Rocket Lab's Electron vehicle in April, harnesses photon momentum to propel itself through space. Equipped with cameras, the spacecraft is set to capture high-resolution images of the deployed sail.

India has joined the select group of nations with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle or MIRV technology with the first flight test of Mission Divyastra.

India successfully conducted the first flight test of Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) with the Agni-5 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

The specific details of X-37B missions continue to be classified, including a NASA project onboard.

ISRO's official handle also shared a slow-motion video of the TV-D1 Lift-off.

Indian Space Research Organisation chairman S Somnath on Saturday said that the crew module, separated from the Gaganyaan mission's test vehicle, has been successfully recovered from the Bay of Bengal.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that ISRO's successful launch of a test vehicle as part of its Gaganyaan mission takes India a step closer to realising its first human space flight programme.

ISRO announced the success of the 'TV-D1' (Test Vehicle Development Flight 1) in the Gaganyaan Mission. The test vehicle was launched on the second attempt after it had faced an engine ignition problem at 8:45am IST. Later, it said that the errors have been identified and corrected and the second launch was scheduled for 10:00am IST today. 

The maiden flight test will be a "short-duration mission" that will examine the crew module, scheduled to house Indian astronauts during the human spaceflight late next year.

The launch of a single-stage liquid rocket on Saturday will signal ISRO's journey towards its ambitious human space flight programme, Gaganyaan, when the first crew module test to ensure the safety of astronauts will be conducted

ISRO will conduct three more test vehicle missions under the ambitious Gaganyaan programme after the maiden TV-D1 test flight, which is scheduled on October 21, the space agency's chairman S Somanath said on Saturday.

ISRO plans to undertake an inflight abort test of the crew escape system by the end of this month using a test vehicle developed as part of the country's ambitious maiden human spaceflight venture Gaganyaan.

The crew escape system is a critical safety feature of the Gaganyaan mission. It will be used to evacuate the crew in the event of an emergency during launch or ascent.

A mission to study the Sun, and launching a climate observation satellite, a test vehicle as part of the Gaganyaan human space flight program, and an Indo-US synthetic aperture radar -- ISRO has a packed schedule ahead.

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Sunday announced that it successfully conducted the autonomous test landing mission of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) in Karnataka's Chitradurga.
