GK and monthly revision
ISRO successfully carries out tests of Gaganyaan crew module systems
ISRO successfully conducted critical tests for the Gaganyaan crew module systems, including the separation of the umbilical mechanism linking the crew module and service module. This milestone validates key life-support and propulsion interfaces essential for India's first human spaceflight mission. The tests ensure astronaut safety during launch, orbit, and re-entry phases. This development is highly significant for competitive exams covering space technology, national achievements, and science & technology current affairs.
