ISRO started assembling the Human-Rated Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (HLVM3) for the Gaganyaan-G1 mission. This marks the beginning of India's first uncrewed human spaceflight mission. The 53-meter tall rocket will carry up to 10 tonnes to low Earth orbit. The mission aims to validate human-rated systems. The Gaganyaan program paves the way for India's long-term space exploration goals, including the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS).
