Along with that will be 3 communications satellites, 2 navigation satellites, 3 space science satellites, one technology demonstration, 10 PSLVs, 3 GSLV Mark IIs, 1 GSLV Mark III, 2 Small Satellite Launch Vehicle and Gaganyaan Mission with Vyomitra.
Out of these missions, ISRO has already completed 11 missions -- 4 Earth observation satellites, 1 communication satellite, 1 space science satellite, 4 PSLVs and 1 GSLV Mark III.
Dr Singh also stated, ¡°Indian Space Programme is focused on peaceful uses of outer space. Towards this, space technology should be used for benefit of the country and society, provide solutions for developmental activities and address problems of the society at large.¡±
ISRO¡¯s Gaganyaan mission will be India¡¯s first feat into sending an Indian into space onto a rocket made by Indian engineers. IAF Pilots have already commenced their training in Russia with Russian space agency.
While the Gaganyaan mission is scheduled for 2022, India is going to run a test flight with Vyomitra -- a humanoid robot developed by ISRO -- that will simulate conditions for astronauts in space in 2020.
