In an announcement that could reshape the future of space exploration, Union Minister Jitendra Singh dropped a sensational bombshell at the NDTV G20 Conclave on Saturday. India is set to send a female robot named “Vyommitra” to space in the upcoming Gaganyaan Mission. That’s right, a robot designed to mimic human activities will soon be soaring among the stars.

Mission Countdown Initiated: First Trial Spaceflight Scheduled for Early October

Jitendra Singh, the Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, revealed that the first trial spaceflight for the Gaganyaan Mission is scheduled for the first or second week of October. This groundbreaking mission has faced delays due to the pandemic, but India is making headway to propel its space ambitions into the stratosphere. “Bringing back the astronauts is as important as sending them,” stated the Union Minister.

Speaking on India’s previous cosmic achievements, Jitendra Singh reminisced the triumph of the Chandrayaan-3 lander touching down near the Moon’s south pole. “The landing was so smooth,” he said, adding that it signified a quantum leap in ISRO’s journey. India is the first nation to land a spacecraft near the Moon’s south pole and joins the exclusive club of the erstwhile USSR, the US, and China to achieve this feat.
