Gaganyaan: India's human spaceflight mission

Background

ISRO describes Gaganyaan as the demonstration of human spaceflight capability by launching a crew of 3 members to an orbit of 400 km for a 3 days mission and bringing them back safely to Earth. The launch vehicle is the Human Rated LVM3 (HLVM3), re-configured to meet human rating requirements. The Crew Module is a pressurised, double-walled habitable space with an Earth-like environment. The Service Module is unpressurised and supports the Crew Module while in orbit. Landing is planned in Indian sea waters.
