ISRO to Launch Vyommitra on First Uncrewed Gaganyaan Mission in December 2025

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch Vyommitra, a half-humanoid robot, on its first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission in December 2025, marking a historic milestone toward India’s maiden human spaceflight planned for 2027. Vyommitra will simulate astronaut-like activities inside the spacecraft, monitor systems, and transmit real-time data to ensure safety for future human missions. Under the Gaganyaan program, two more uncrewed missions are planned for 2026, followed by India’s first human spaceflight with trained “Gaganyatris” in 2027. ISRO’s long-term roadmap includes establishing the Bharatiya Antariksha Station by 2035 and achieving an Indian Moon landing by 2040.
