Q.1 Hard
Which Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) mission successfully demonstrated the technology for India's planned human spaceflight program 'Gaganyaan' by conducting an uncrewed test flight in 2025?
A Chandrayaan-3
B Aditya-L1
C Test Vehicle (TV-D1)
D Mangalyaan-2
Correct Answer:  C. Test Vehicle (TV-D1)
Explanation:

Test Vehicle (TV-D1) is the correct answer because it was specifically designed and launched by ISRO as an uncrewed developmental test flight in 2025 to validate critical technologies and systems required for the Gaganyaan human spaceflight program. This test vehicle conducted atmospheric re-entry trials and tested the crew module's abort and safety systems, which are essential for ensuring astronaut safety during actual crewed missions. Other options would be incorrect because they either refer to different ISRO missions not related to Gaganyaan technology demonstration, or to components that are not designated test vehicles for this specific program. TV-D1 represents a crucial milestone in India's journey toward becoming only the fourth nation to conduct independent human spaceflight operations.
