Is India planning on sending humans into space?

           After Chandrayaan 2, sending Man into space is India’s next biggest dream. The ISRO has already made plans for the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme and is working on a crewed orbital spacecraft- Gaganyaan.

          Gaganyaan is expected to be launched in 2020 and its manufacturing is carried out in co-operation with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Gaganyaan is designed to carry three people into space and is supposed to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 400 kilometres for seven days. It is planned to be launched by GSLV Mk III, the same launch vehicle that put Chandrayaan 2 in its course to the Moon.
