The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight mission under development.

“The Gaganyaan mission is going very well. In fact, when you talk about the Gaganyaan mission, a lot of technology development has to take place, you are aware — the rocket has to be human-rated, the orbital module has to be developed, and the environmental control safety system has to be developed. Then coming to the crew escape system, parachute system and then, of course, human-centric products,” Narayanan said while responding to a question about the progress of the mission.
