🔆 ISRO’s Gaganyaan: IADT-01 Air-Drop Test Successful

📍 What is IADT-01?
✅ Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-01) was conducted at Sriharikota, marking a crucial milestone for India’s first human spaceflight mission – Gaganyaan.
✅ It successfully demonstrated the parachute-based deceleration system for the crew module.

📍 What’s Next?
✅ ISRO will now proceed with:
• TV-D2 (2nd Test Vehicle Mission)
• Uncrewed Gaganyaan-1 (G1) mission
✅ These are critical precursors before sending Indian astronauts to space.

📍 Key Tech Milestones:
✅ TV-D2 will test the Crew Escape System (CES) under complex conditions.
✅ The crewed Gaganyaan mission will use LVM3 rocket and carry onboard Vyommitra, ISRO’s humanoid robot.
✅ VSSC (Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre) played a major role in test design and execution.

📍 Why It Matters?
✅ India will become only the 4th country (after USA, Russia, China) to launch a manned space mission.
✅ Strengthens space safety protocols and India’s capability for independent human spaceflight.

📝 Prelims 2025 – Possible Qs:
✅ Vyommitra is a humanoid robot developed for which Indian mission? (Ans: Gaganyaan)
✅ IADT-01 is related to: (a) ISRO’s satellite launch, b) Nuclear submarine trial, c) Human spaceflight deceleration test, d) PSLV rocket test) — (c)

📝 Mains GS-3 / Science & Tech Q:
“Discuss the significance of the Gaganyaan mission for India’s space diplomacy and technological self-reliance. What safety systems are being tested prior to launch?” (10M / 150 words)
