Indian Space Research Organisation Chief S Somanath revealed that the space organisation has at least 4 to 5 upcoming launches, all scheduled to take place before January of next year.“Every month we will have at least one launch. Before January you will see at least 4 to 5 launches. It takes 110 days to travel from Earth to the L1 point. By the middle of January, we will reach the L1 point. At that point we will do insertion in the Lagrangian point,” said S Somanath. The ISRO chief also gave an insight on the upcoming Test Vehicle D1 mission is scheduled for 21st October. “Test vehicle D1 mission is scheduled for 21st October. The Gaganyaan programme requires testing, demonstrating the crew escape system. So, the crew escape system is a very critical system in Gaganyaan. If anything happens to the rocket, we have to save the crew by moving them away from the exploding rocket. This test is to demonstrate the crew escape system in one condition of the flight. The one condition we are demonstrating now is the transonic condition,” said S Somanath.
