PM asked ISRO to set up an Indian Space Station by 2035.

Happy by the success of the Chandrayaan mission, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday October 17th set ambitious goals for ISRO, asking them to set up an Indian Space Station by 2035 and send the first Indian to the moon by 2040.

Modi's directions came during a briefing by ISRO Chairman S Somanath on the progress of the Gaganyaan mission, which is to have its first demonstration flight of the crew escape system on October 21, and other initiatives.

It was noted that around 20 major tests are planned, including three uncrewed missions of the Human Rated Launch Vehicle (HLVM3). The first demonstration flight of the Crew Escape System Test Vehicle is scheduled for October 21, 2023, with the mission's launch likely in 2025.

The Gaganyaan Mission, if successful, will make India the fourth country to send a human to space, following the US, Russia, and China. The spacecraft, a fully autonomous 5.3-ton module, is designed to carry a three-member crew to orbit and safely return to Earth after a mission duration of up to seven days.
