Uncrewed Gaganyaan mission on track for launch this year, says ISRO chief V Narayanan
Work on the first uncrewed mission under the Gaganyaan programme is progressing “vigorously and systematically” and the launch is targeted for this calendar year, ISRO chairman V Narayanan said on Friday.
Speaking after the successful launch of the EOS-05 earth observation satellite aboard the GSLV-F17, Narayanan said the mission was the first success for the space agency in the current financial year.
“Reward for hard work is more work,” he said, adding that ISRO, along with industry and other organisations, was now focused on the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission.
