Low Earth orbit
Gaganyaan-4
Gaganyaan-4 is the first crewed Gaganyaan mission, planned to carry three astronauts to low Earth orbit for a multi-day return flight.
This is the crewed Gaganyaan mission in the series, intended to follow the uncrewed tests once ISRO closes out vehicle, life-support, escape, and recovery readiness.
