ISRO's heroics aren't news. While not only making rockets that cost only a fraction of what it costs NASA, the stellar engineering also makes it for space engineers across the globe to use ISRO rockets for its space launches.

Recently, ISRO Chief, speaking at the 70th Annual General Meeting and National Conference revealed that the space agency will conduct a series of tests on the rocket as well as the orbital module system.

The space agency is scheduled to have its first unmanned flight by the end of 2021. The first manned spaceflight is expected to be conducted in August of 2022.
