The Indian Space Research Organisation has shortlisted four Indian Air Force pilots - Group Captain Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair, Group Captain Ajit Krishnan, Group Captain Angad Pratap and Wing Commander Shubhanshu Shukla, for India’s first manned space mission, Gaganyaan. They have completed basic training at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, and will undergo specialised training at the Crew Training Facility in India.
I like any group/ company willing to go through the lengthy teething period to develop advanced tech/ programs etc. Well done.
