ISRO's first attempt towards Gaganyaan human mission, crew module sent into space
ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Center (LPSC) has sent the crew module to space orbit for the first unmanned mission of Gaganyaan after successfully completing the integration of the liquid propulsion system. Gaganyaan is ISRO's first attempt towards achieving the capability to send human mission into space. The crew module was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center.
The Liquid Propulsion Systems Center (LPSC) of ISRO, after the successful integration of the liquid propulsion system, has sent the crew module to space orbit for the first unmanned mission of Gaganyaan.
Gaganyaan is the first effort by ISRO toward the capability for manned space missions. Under the Gaganyaan program, ISRO will send an unmanned mission into space before sending a manned crew. The crew module is a fully autonomous spacecraft designed to carry a three-member crew into space orbit and return safely to Earth after completion of the mission duration. Bengaluru-based LPSC launched the crew module from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, officials said.
According to ISRO, the Crew Module Propulsion System (CMPS) is a bi-propellant-based reaction control system (RCS) designed to provide precise 3-axis control (pitch, yaw, and roll) to the crew module.
