ISRO Plans Second Uncrewed Gaganyaan Test
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is advancing its Gaganyaan mission, India’s first human spaceflight program, with a second uncrewed test flight planned for April 2024. This marks a significant milestone in a series of preparations that include multiple test flights aimed at demonstrating human spaceflight capabilities. By the end of 2025, ISRO plans to launch a crewed mission, aiming to make India one of the few nations capable of sending humans to space. The mission employs the LVM3 rocket, adapted to meet human safety standards, and involves the development of critical technologies such as life support systems and crew training at ISRO’s Human Space Flight Centre (HSFC).
