ISRO chief somnath has said that the testing of Gaganyaan-type spacecraft, which was scheduled to take place today, has been postponed and the date of re-testing will be announced later. The test was stopped because the engine operation did not go as planned. The isro chief said that the countdown stopped automatically before 5 seconds and that the information will be analyzed as to why this happened and will be informed soon. Three days ago the timing of the examination was changed from 7 am to 8 am. The launch of the model spacecraft today was delayed by another half hour due to inclement weather. It was said that there was no technical glitch and the delay was due to weather.
Even after 8.30 hours, the countdown was suspended as the spacecraft could not be launched. Then at 8.45 hrs the 5 minute countdown started again. This time the countdown stopped automatically 5 seconds before takeoff. The indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is working on the Gaganyaan project as an attempt to send humans into space. 400 km from Earth. The Kaganyan spacecraft is about to be launched into a distant orbit. The Kaganyan project is designed to send 3 soldiers into space and return them safely to earth.
ISRO is carrying out major tests of this project, which is expected to be implemented in 2025. Accordingly, an unmanned prototype spacecraft was scheduled to be launched today from the satish dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota.
