In a post on X (former Twitter), Home Minister Amit Shah said, “After the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-3, our nation is ready to take its next giant stride in the realm of space. Today, the ISRO launched Gaganyaan’s TV-D1 Test Flight into space, scripting another remarkable space odyssey. My heartfelt congratulations to our scientists and our citizens on this momentous occasion of success and fulfillment. “The success of the ISRO’s mission came after a second attempt at launch as it had faced an engine ignition problem at 8.45 am in its initial attempt.
On the occasion, Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh also complimented ISRO on the successful Test Vehicle Abort mission.
“Today’s test flight was the first step in the last leg of the Gaganyaan mission. After today, many more test flights will be conducted.
