India plans manned space flight by 2027

  • India plans to launch its first manned spaceflight mission, Gaganyaan, in early 2027 from Indian soil using an ISRO-developed rocket and spacecraft.
  • The mission follows extensive national space achievements, satellite launches for multiple countries, and recent satellite docking successes, highlighting India’s growing capabilities.
  • A group of four test pilots from the Indian Air Force, chosen as astronaut candidates, have finished their initial training in Russia and are now completing mission-specific preparation in India ahead of their upcoming spaceflights.
  • ISRO plans three uncrewed Gaganyaan missions this year and in 2026 to test systems before the crewed flight, with mission infrastructure development about 90% complete, according to officials.
  • The successful launch will position India as the fourth country to independently send humans into orbit, advancing its space exploration ambitions including lunar landing by 2040.
