Why the Delay and What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The revised timeline follows the successful completion of critical test missions, including the TV-D1 crew escape test. The next test flight, TV-D2, is expected in 2025, followed by multiple uncrewed orbital missions featuring the female humanoid robot, Vyommitra. These efforts will culminate in the first crewed mission in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Budget Doubled, Scope Expanded<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Initially allocated \u20b910,000 crore, the Gaganyaan budget has now been increased to \u20b920,193 crore. The revised scope includes eight missions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Two crewed spaceflights<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Six uncrewed test missions<\/strong>
    This reflects the rising complexity, rigorous safety protocols, and the scale of preparation involved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    National Collaboration Beyond ISRO<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Described as a \u201cnational mission\u201d by ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan, Gaganyaan involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • ISRO scientists and engineers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Indian Navy and other armed forces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Premier research institutes like IITs, IISc, and TIFR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Over 7,000 tests<\/strong> have already been completed to human-rate the LVM3 launch vehicle, crew module, and escape system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Astronaut Training in Final Stages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      India\u2019s astronaut-designates have completed extensive training \u2014 including physical, psychological, and spaceflight simulations \u2014 and are now preparing for the mission-specific phase. This final training will ensure that the crew is ready for India\u2019s maiden voyage into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
