Prime Minister Modi is set to honor four pilots shortlisted for India's Gaganyaan mission by bestowing them with 'astronaut wings'. This recognition comes as India prepares for its most ambitious scientific endeavor to date, the Gaganyaan mission, which is funded with nearly Rs 10,000 crore. The mission aims to send an Indian astronaut into space from Indian soil using an Indian rocket by or in 2025. The four astronauts, all Indian Air Force Officers, will be the first Indians to travel to space on an indigenous space vehicle. Their names were announced by the Prime Minister, marking a significant milestone in India's space exploration efforts.
