CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully completed the development of the Service Module Propulsion System (SMPS) for the Gaganyaan mission, India’s first crewed spaceflight program. This marks a significant milestone in India’s ambitious journey toward human space exploration. The SMPS is a critical component of the Gaganyaan spacecraft, providing essential propulsion, attitude control, and orbit maneuvers necessary for the safe transportation of astronauts.
The propulsion system underwent a series of rigorous tests to validate its performance, reliability, and endurance under space-like conditions. With the completion of this phase, ISRO moves one step closer to launching Indian astronauts into space. The SMPS will be integrated with the Service Module, which supports the Crew Module that houses astronauts during their mission.
The Gaganyaan mission is a flagship project under India’s space program and aims to demonstrate human spaceflight capability by sending a three-member crew to Low Earth Orbit and bringing them back safely. With this development, ISRO reaffirms its capability in indigenous technology and engineering excellence, placing India among the elite group of nations with human spaceflight capabilities.
