ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan today announced that India’s maiden human spaceflight mission, Gaganyaan, will take its first test flight in December this year. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Professor Narayanan confirmed that the mission is on track, with nearly 80 percent of its trials already completed. Out of a total of 10,000 required tests, around 7,700 have been successfully conducted, while the remaining 2,300 will be finished by March 2026.

Gaganyaan Test Flight: India’s Biggest Step in Human Spaceflight

Professor Narayanan emphasized that Gaganyaan test flight preparations are advancing smoothly, and India is closer than ever to sending astronauts into space. This mission, India’s first crewed spaceflight, is being viewed as a historic leap in the country’s space exploration journey.
