“Congratulations team @isro for the success of #Gaganyaan. May Maa Durga bless you for your continuous efforts and dedication. #GaganyaanMission @ISROSpaceflight,” he posted on X, formerly twitter.
The face of Goddess Durga sculpted in sand was very attractive. The art drew hundreds of tourists.
Notably, India’s first rocket part of its human space mission/Gaganyaan – Test Vehicle-D1 (TV-D1) lifted off successfully at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
The test vehicle blasted off from the first launch pad at the rocket port here.
The lift-off was originally scheduled at 8 a.m. but owing to weather condition and poor visibility it was rescheduled for 8.45 a.m.
But it finally lifted off only at 10 a.m. after technical glitches were sorted.
