Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the world to four astronaut-designates– Prashanth Nair, Ajit Krishnan, Angad Prathap and Shubhanshu Shukla–who have been chosen for the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Gaganyaan mission. These astronauts are currently undergoing rigorous training as part of the preparations for their historic mission. The Gaganyaan Mission aims to showcase India’s capability in human spaceflight by launching crewmem-bers into a 400km orbit for a three-day mission, culminating in a safe return to Earth through a landing in Indian sea waters.
