Hi,


India is engaged in a low-scale manned space effort crowded with many would be items in the wish list.


One of them is the MANAV "Manned Space Vehicle".


Let's see which information shows up with time…

Manned spaceship was highly popular in India in 2006 - 2007 timeframe with proposed first flight in 2015. But after they realized that they need some 2,3 bln USD for development (this is the whole budget of ISRO for more than two years), the activity was damped. Even in the most optimistic estimation India will not have any manned spaceship before 2020, mostly because they need to invest into other projects such as GSLV Mk. III or Chandrayaan 2.
 
Much of India's ambitions in the 1995-2006 era was conditioned by the then ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party's aspiration to prove India was quite advanced and was technologically, financially and geopolitically prepared to emerge as a new superpower.


Since then BJP government has fallen, realism returned and it has become more widely understood within india that India was in fact financially and technologically far from ready to go toe to toe with china and equip itself with trappings of an emergent superpower.
 
I'm fine with this statement. Tejas proves it definitely.
India has a special relationship with "timing".

Modi said his government would launch from Sept. 25 a previously announced medical insurance scheme, dubbed 'Modicare'

Pure gold. LMAO. I can see Apu (from the Simpsons) trying to pronounce "medicare" and creating "modicare" instead.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had proposed India’s human space flight programme – Vyom – nearly a decade ago. The Indian manned mission will likely have a three-person crew entering the low Earth Orbit and will be carried out on board the indigenous Mark GSLV III launch vehicle.

ISRO plans to undertake two unmanned flights and one manned flight where the crew would be sent to the low Earth Orbit for five to seven days.

Work on an orbital vehicle that can take the crew to the low Earth orbit is already underway.

In 2007, India tested its first re-entry technology where a 550 kg satellite was sent into the orbit and brought back to earth safely in 12 days. This shows India’s capability in heat-resistant materials that are essential for re-entry technology.

In July, ISRO had successfully tested a crew escape system at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The test was critical for a manned mission as it could be needed for pulling out crew members in case of an aborted launch due to some emergency.

Highlights
* Human-rating says the system is capable of safely transporting humans
* At least 50% of the Rs 10,000 crore will go into human-rating
* The escape system will boast of a recently included geometry, while work on parachute enlargement and new architecture will be ready soon

I suppose with the successful Gaganyaan TV-D1 flight the LAS is now man-rated?
