Some of India’s recent scientific feats include the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon’s south pole, and the launch of the Aditya-L1 mission. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently launched the first uncrewed flight mission of the Gaganyaan programme. Known as Test Vehicle Development Flight (TV-D1) or Test Vehicle Abort Flight, the mission, carrying an uncrewed Crew Module and a Crew Escape System, took off from the First Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Gaganyaan TV-D1 is an important mission because it demonstrated the performance of the Crew Escape System, and is the first mission of Gaganyaan’s uncrewed flight tests.

ISRO and NASA are set to launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite in the first quarter of 2024. A few tests, such as those related to vibration, will be conducted before NISAR is launched.
NISAR is an Earth observing satellite that plans to analyse and survey all of Earth’s lands and ice-covered surfaces every 12 days. However, there will be a 90-day satellite commissioning period in the beginning. This means that the satellite will become operational 90 days after launch.
