ISRO has successfully tested the manned space capsule.

The Dhaka Times Desk The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully tested the space capsule. In the event of a sudden emergency during a space mission, this space capsule will be used to quickly and safely evacuate the astronaut from the spaceship. The test launch was carried out from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota on Thursday, July 5 at 7 am.

The capsule is launched by a rocket from the launchpad. Although the space capsule is designed to protect astronauts, an adult human model was sent instead of a human during the test. As soon as the solid motor engine starts, the capsule detaches from the engine. Immediately the parachute opens. After about 5 minutes the capsule landed at a certain spot in the Bay of Bengal.

Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization K Sivan said, "It was a test to ensure the safety of the astronauts." If there is a problem with the main spacecraft during the space mission, the astronauts can return to earth quickly and safely with the help of this capsule called 'Pad Abort'.

They will then test whether the capsule can separate from the moving spacecraft and reach Earth safely. Besides, crew protection system including oxygen supply for astronauts, pressurization system control will all be tested. Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to go into space in 1962 with US astronauts. If all these tests are successfully completed, India will be the fourth country in the world after the United States, Russia and China to send humans into space using indigenous technology.
