        abstract = {India's adventure closer to human spaceflight culminated within the improvement of Gaganyaan, the country's maiden manned space assignment. Initiated by way of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Gaganyaan represents a massive milestone in India's space exploration endeavors. This paper chronicles the inception, development, and goals of the Gaganyaan application, tracing its evolution from its conceptualization in 2007 to its contemporary popularity as a flagship venture of ISRO. Key milestones inside the Gaganyaan program encompass the improvement of spacecraft technology, astronaut choice and training, and collaboration with global partners such as Centre National D’Etudes Spatiales (CNES). The paper highlights the objectives of the program, together with clinical studies, technology validation, and the established order of India's prowess in manned spaceflight. Furthermore, the paper delves into the infrastructure and propulsion systems supporting the Gaganyaan project, along with the GSLV Mk III launch automobile and the group module's atmospheric re-access capabilities. It discusses the role of Vyommitra, a humanoid robotic, in assisting astronauts at some stage in space missions, and outlines future for an Indian Space Station.},
