#Thread with details on today's #SSLV test & more:

Clearing the decks for the first flight of #SSLV, @isro today successfully carried out the ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage (SS1) at SHAR. 1/n
The test happened at around 12.05pm. “This is the last test before the flight (developmental flight),” S Unnikrishnan Nair, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), which is developing the SSLV, told me. 2/n
@isro will now schedule the first developmental flight which will put into orbit #EOS2 or #Microsat. While an official date for the developmental flight is yet to be arrived at, multiple scientists say it is expected to happen in the first half of this year. 3/n
