The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Gaganyaan Crewed Orbital Spacecraft is India's ambitious human spaceflight program aimed at sending Indian astronauts, or "Vyomanauts," into space. This project represents a significant milestone in India's space exploration efforts. Gaganyaan's primary objectives include demonstrating India's human spaceflight capabilities, conducting scientific experiments in microgravity, and bolstering national pride and technological advancements.
The program consists of various components, including the development of crewed spacecraft, life support systems, astronaut training, and launch vehicle technology. ISRO's GSLV Mk III rocket, also known as LVM-3, is planned to carry the crewed spacecraft into orbit.
The Gaganyaan mission holds the potential to make India the fourth country in the world to send humans to space. It reflects ISRO's commitment to advancing space technology and fostering international collaboration in space exploration.
