Sriharikota (AP), October 21 (ANI): After the initial glitch, the Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission was successfully launched from Sriharikota on Oct 21. The Crew Module of TV-D1 Test Flight of the Gaganyaan mission successfully touched down Bay of Bengal. Initially, the launch of Gaganyaan mission was scheduled for 8:00 AM, but was postponed due to bad weather.
