The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a potential shift of the Gaganyaan-G1 mission to March 2026, a delay from the previously scheduled December 2025 launch, primarily due to capacity constraints at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Despite this adjustment, ISRO remains focused on meeting its goal of launching within the 2025-26 financial year. The G1 mission aims to validate critical systems for human spaceflight, with subsequent uncrewed missions G2 and G3 planned ahead of India’s first crewed flight targeting 2027. This development underscores ISRO’s strategic commitment to advancing its human spaceflight program, ensuring that it maintains a robust timeline despite operational challenges, thus reinforcing India’s growing stature in global space exploration.
