ISRO chief V. Narayanan said that about 90% of the preparations for India’s much-awaited Gaganyaan mission have been completed. The first uncrewed mission (mission without humans) will be launched by the end of this year. After this, two more uncrewed missions will be completed, after the success of which the crewed mission (flying with humans) will be carried out.
V Narayanan said that Shubhanshu Shukla’s visit to the International Space Station has given ISRO many important experiences, which will be helpful for the Gaganyaan mission. He said, ‘This mission is extremely important and complex, in which human security is our top priority.’
ESTIC Conclave at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
V Narayanan also told that ESTIC Conclave will be organized at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi from 3 to 5 November, which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This conclave will prove important to encourage private sector participation in space technology. In line with the Prime Minister’s vision, India is also moving rapidly towards setting up its own space station by 2035.
