ISRO plans to send Indian Astronauts into space by 2024

Bangalore: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to launch Chandrayaan-3, its third mission to the moon, in June next year.  Interacting with media personnel on the sidelines of an event in Delhi, ISRO Chairman S. Somnath said C-3 is ready now.

ISRO has made Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) more robust so that it does not have any problems. He added the space agency has also lined up the first test flight of the abort mission for Gaganyaan, the country’s first human spaceflight, early next year.

Mr. Somnath said, ISRO also plans to fly Indian astronauts into orbit by the end of 2024 after carrying out successful abort missions and uncrewed test flights.
