Working towards first uncrewed mission for Gaganyaan programme: ISRO Chairman

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is making significant strides towards its first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission, as highlighted by ISRO Chairman S. Somanath. Following the PSLV-C62 mission, which faced an anomaly in its third stage on January 12, ISRO’s scientists are meticulously analyzing the entire mission to address the issue and ensure future success. The Gaganyaan programme aims to send Indian astronauts into space, marking a milestone in India's space exploration efforts. With preparations underway, ISRO is focused on refining its technology and processes to achieve this ambitious goal, demonstrating India's commitment to advancing its capabilities in human spaceflight. The organization’s ongoing efforts to troubleshoot the PSLV-C62 incident underscore its dedication to safety and reliability in future missions, which are crucial for the Gaganyaan initiative. As ISRO gears up for this landmark mission, the scientific community and the nation eagerly await developments that will potentially position India among the elite countries capable of crewed space exploration.
