The first unmanned flight test designated as the test vehicle development flight mission-1 (tv-d1 flight test), is scheduled to be launched from Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota by ISRO today at 8 am ist. The mission will test the performance of the crew escape system on the crew module of the Gaganyaan mission. Basically, it will test the safety mechanism that will allow the crew of the Gaganyaan mission to escape the spacecraft in case the mission is aborted due to a malfunction.

While speeding on an expressway in the cruise control mode, once in a while the driver has to intervene and steer the vehicle on its intended lane. Likewise, when travelling at a speed that measures several thousand kilometres per hour, it is necessary to gently steer a spacecraft to ensure it remains on the ideal path to its destination.
