Here we go. #Thread #space #update

2 key missions of spl test vehicle developed as part of #Gaganyaan are most likely in Aug & Dec. As Iā€™d reported earlier, @isro is working towards 2 tests to establish crew abort & escape systems before the first uncrewed mission. 1/n
We are looking to schedule the 1st abort mission in Aug & the 2nd in Dec: Somnath. @isro to intentionally cause an anomaly & allow crew module to come out of it, do tumbling manoeuvres, deploy parachutes, & land in a designated spot on the sea before being recovered. 2/n
Aside from this ā€” which is only one type of abort test ā€” there are different events such as maximum dynamic pressure condition, maximum acceleration condition, some transient condition etc, in which abort will become critical in flight... 3/n

There are some key developments unravelling related to some important missions/projects by @isro in the coming weeks. I'll soon be putting out something on #Chandrayaan3 #RLVLEX (reusable launch vehicle landing experiment) & #SSLV.

#Thread 1/n
The Indian Space Research Organisation (@isro), which has already completed its first successful launch this year, is getting busy with a slew of key tests pertaining to three important missions/projects in the coming weeks, aside from a launch mission. 2/n
While the #PSLV mission is scheduled to launch EOS-6 or #Oceansat3 in the early part of April, important tests under the #SSLV and #RLV programmes have been lined up in the weeks preceding and following that. A #Chandrayaan3 landing test too is scheduled in March. 3/n
