An Indian will travel to space aboard Gaganyaan by 2022 (PM Modi, Independence Day speech).

The Aug 2026 official wording ('by 2027') does not restate a Q1 target, so status is shown as Unknown rather than Slipped. The Sept 2025 article was seen in search results and not fetched in full.

First uncrewed Gaganyaan flight (G1, carrying the Vyommitra humanoid) launching in the first week of December 2025.
ISRO's chairman reaffirmed a 2026 launch on Sept 4, 2026 (India Today). No launch date announced as of the evidence date.
In T-ZERO's current launch feed (about 100 upcoming and a few recent launches), Gaganyaan matches 2 launches: 2 upcoming and 0 recent.
Counts come from the same Launch Library 2 data as the rest of the site. The feed is a rolling window, so these are not all-time totals.
