India’s space agency, ISRO, is on course to launch its first uncrewed Gaganyaan test mission (G1) this December, marking a major milestone in the nation's human spaceflight journey. The mission will carry Vyommitra, a half-humanoid robot, along with experimental payloads into low Earth orbit for system validation. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, one of India’s astronaut trainees, affirmed the country’s readiness and collective spirit supporting the initiative. The G1 mission is a critical precursor to India's first crewed Gaganyaan flight, projected for early 2027.
