‘We’re working on for first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission this year’, says Isro chief V Narayanan NEW DELHI: Isro chairman V Narayanan said on Saturday that the country is preparing for the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission, advancing Chandrayaan-4, a lunar sample return mission, and Chandrayaan-5, a joint long-duration mission with Japan involving a heavier rover.Delivering the 17th Air Chief Marshal L M Katre Memorial Lecture in Karnataka, Isro chief said, “We are now working on the first uncrewed mission this year. Then once we review the result, we’ll come back to the crewed mission.” He added, “Gaganyaan is a technology-intensive mission. We have to do the human-rating of the vehicle … before sending actual human beings, we have to do 3 uncrewed missions, and we are working towards the first uncrewed mission. You will come to know about the dates very shortly …”On the lunar missions, Narayanan said Chandrayaan-4 will be India’s first lunar sample return mission, while Chandrayaan-5, to be undertaken jointly with Japan, will deploy a 350-kg rover capable of operating for nearly 100 days, compared with the 25-kg rover and 14-day operational life of Chandrayaan-3. On India’s cryogenic engine programme, he said technology denial had ultimately strengthened indigenous capabilities. “Today, I thank the countries that denied us the technology. Today we have developed three cryogenic propulsion systems,” he said. Referring to the recent successful hot test of the semi-cryogenic engine power head test article (PHTA) at a thrust level of 175 tonnes, Narayanan said, “A test that was conducted, excluding the thrust chamber … we have taken close to 90% of the thrust load … it was a major achievement and milestone, and now we are getting ready for the engine test … satellites are ready, and we are working on that, an exact date will be provided soon …”Meanwhile, aerospace engineer N Jayan, who led the development of the indigenous CE20 cryogenic engine that powers India’s LVM3 heavy-lift launch vehicle, has been appointed director of the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC).Get the latest India news and live updates.

NEW DELHI: Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s loyalist Dola Sen on Saturday lodged two police complaints against the rebel TMC MLAs, alleging “forgery of the party symbol and impersonation of the name All India Trinamool Congress.”This comes as the Ritabrata Banerjee-led breakaway TMC faction met Kolkata’s former councillors for the second time in a week.The complaints also referred to the “circulation of false documents/electronic communications” by the rebel camp and accused it of “holding unauthorised meetings”. Watch TMC Rift Out In Open As Rebel Camp Forms 30-Member National PanelEarlier in the day, leader of opposition Ritabrata Banerjee and Sandipan Saha were present at the meeting, displaying their grip over the dissident leaders.As many as 47 former TMC councillors of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) were present at the meeting, which took place at a private banquet hall in the Topsia area of East Kolkata, sources said. The objective was to “strengthen the party’s support base in Kolkata after its assembly poll debacle, and in the run-up to the civic body elections” likely to take place later this year.“We are the real Trinamool Congress. We have the numbers and are the principal opposition in the state assembly. There can be no question about our legitimacy. We have constituted our national working committee and will soon announce our political programmes,” rebel TMC MLA and deputy leader of the party in the House, Sandipan Saha, said.The Bengal government dissolved the KMC board on June 8, leading all elected councillors, chairpersons, and members of the Mayor-in-Council to vacate their offices and transfer executive powers to an administrator, following Mayor Firhad Hakim’s resignation.Hakim, a former Mamata Banerjee confidant who is believed to have moved over to the rebel camp, was absent from Saturday’s meeting.“The rebel MLAs are more preoccupied with legal and organisational disputes than with the political battle. Mamata Banerjee personally created the TMC symbol, and the party’s electoral support is based on her leadership rather than individual leaders. The votes received by the party belong to Mamata Banerjee’s leadership, and any symbol endorsed by her would receive public support,” TMC MP Mahua Moitra, who remains loyal to Banerjee, said.“The mandate of over 2.6 crore voters in favour of Mamata Banerjee remains intact despite recent defections. The departure of some councillors, MLAs, or MPs does not diminish the party’s public mandate. The party’s support base will remain unaffected by the exit of a limited number of elected representatives,” she added.Get the latest India news and live updates.
