List of Indian astronauts
On 3 April 1984, Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to travel to space. He traveled on board Soyuz T-11 to the space station Salyut 7 as part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme. In the late 2000s, Indian Space Research Organisation announced that it is working on the technologies required for sending humans to space as a part of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme.
In 2018, the Government of India formally announced the launch of the Gaganyaan programme, which aimed to put a man in space by 2022. However, the plans were delayed partly due to the impact of Covid 19. As per the revised timelines, the first crewed flight is planned as a part of Gaganyaan-4, scheduled to launch in 2027.) On 27 February 2024, four men - Ajit Krishnan, Angad Pratap, Prasanth Nair, and Shubhanshu Shukla, from the Indian Air Force were announced as candidates for the human spaceflight programme. They trained at Russia's Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, where Sharma had trained in 1984. Nair and Shukla trained at NASA facilities in preparation for their participation in the Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station. Shukla flew to space on 25 June 2025 as a part of the mission, while Nair was his backup.
On 19 May 2024, Gopichand Thotakura became the first Indian to take a suborbital flight to space, as a part of the Blue Origin NS-25 mission.
