Named immediately after the Sanskrit term for craft or auto to the sky, the Gaganyaan task has been formulated at the charge of 90bn rupees ($1bn £897m). It aims to ship the astronauts to an orbit of 400km (248 miles) and convey them back again after a few times. If it succeeds, India will come to be only the fourth country to send a human into house immediately after the Soviet Union, the US and China.
