The future is female and robotic: You won’t believe who India is sending to space next!
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.

The second phase of the mission promises to captivate the world as Vyommitra, the female robot, will replicate human activities in space. “If everything goes perfect, then we can have a go-ahead,” Jitendra Singh tantalizingly teased.
Moon Landing Echoes India’s Space Prowess: A Quantum Jump for ISRO and the Nation
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.
The Modi Effect: Prime Minister’s Vision Transforms India’s Space Sector

Moreover, funding for the space program has been significantly increased.
Keep your eyes peeled for this celestial spectacle as India gears up to send Vyommitra, the female robot, into space. As Jitendra Singh puts it, if all goes well, India’s Gaganyaan Mission could redefine the boundaries of space exploration. Stay tuned for this epic voyage that promises to be out of this world!
