Gaganyaan Mission LIVE | ISRO Launches Gaganyaan Mission Test Flight | CNBC TV18 | N18L

Good luck ISRO!

Big day for India's space journey as ISRO starts unmanned test flight for Gaganyaan, the first human space programme, at Sriharikota.

The Indian space research agency is due to carry out the first of a series of key tests ahead of its planned mission to take astronauts into space in 2025.

The Gaganyaan spacecraft is due to be launched at 08:00 local time (02:30GMT) on Saturday from Sriharikota.

The test will demonstrate whether the crew can safely escape the rocket in case it malfunctions.

If successful, it will pave the way for other unmanned missions, including sending a robot into space next year.

Sending a manned mission with three astronauts into low-Earth orbit will happen only after the successful completion of all these tests - and as the government announced last week, it will most likely happen in 2025.
