ISRO has stopped the first test flight of Mission Gaganyaan. ISRO Chief S Somanath, while addressing the media, said – We are trying to find out what has gone wrong. This mission was to be launched at 8 a.m. on Saturday (21 October 2023).
ISRO Chief S Somanath said that this mission was to be launched at 8 a.m., but later, we had to advance its launch time due to some reasons, and we extended it to 8.45 a.m. Despite this, when the command was launching, the computer installed did not allow us to do rocket ignition. The rockets are safe after the ignition did not happen; we are investigating the reasons to find out why this could not occur.

This Decision Was Taken Due To Disturbances In The Weather
It is also being said that one of the reasons for stopping the Gaganyaan mission was that perhaps it had to be done due to rain and cloud cover. This was a test mission. Through this mission, India was planning to send humans into space.
ISRO aims to send humans to the Moon for three days and safely bring them back to Earth. The Gaganyaan mission aims to send humans into low Earth orbit at 400 kilometres in a three-day mission in 2025 and bring them back to Earth safely.
