This launch task was originally scheduled to start this year. Singh said that the new crown epidemic affected the training of astronauts in India and Russia, so the task was postponed.

According to local media reports, India will first conduct two non -loading flight tests. Among them, the second test flight will be equipped with a robot that imitates the image of human women. Time may be arranged next year.

After evaluating the results of the two test flights, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch a spacecraft equipped with at least two astronauts in the near -ground track in 2024.

The Indian Air Force has identified four fighter pilots as potential crews of manned space flight. They received basic training in Russia.

The Indian Space Research Organization stated that in the long run, "Ganyang Yang" will laid the foundation for the continuous human space exploration of India. Local media said that having a dynamic manned space plan can become a powerful foreign policy tool, and the "Gan Ganyang" project will strengthen international partnership and global security.

At present, only three countries, the United States, Russia, and China, have independent manned space -on capabilities.

According to India-Asia News Agency, after the successful completion of the "Gan Gan Yang" project, India will focus on realizing the ability to continue to exist in space in space. In addition, the Indian Space Research Organization plans to launch the "Monthly Boat No. 3" detector in 2023. Similar to "Gan Ganyang", the launch time of the "Monthly Boat No. 3" was also postponed. This task was originally scheduled to be launched in 2021, which was postponed to 2022, and then delayed again.
