India is set for a historic milestone as an Indian astronaut, referred to as a 'Gaganyaatri,' prepares to journey to the International Space Station (ISS) in a joint ISRO-NASA mission. Union Minister Jitendra Singh announced that the mission, named Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), will launch in August 2024 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The Gaganyaatri will be among four astronauts selected for this mission, representing a significant step forward in India’s space exploration efforts. The astronaut will be chosen from four Indian Air Force test pilots trained for ISRO’s Gaganyaan mission.
