The Indian government has set a target to send an astronaut to the Moon by the year 2040, with additional plans for the establishment of a space station by 2035.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled these ambitious space exploration goals on Tuesday, urging scientists to also focus on missions to explore Venus and Mars.

India achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first nation to successfully land a spacecraft on the Moon’s south pole in August.

The nation continued its space endeavors in September by launching a rocket designed to study the Sun.

India’s space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is actively engaged in the Gaganyaan project. This project’s primary objective is to send a human crew into orbit at an altitude of 400 kilometers (approximately 248 miles) and ensure their safe return to Indian waters.

ISRO is slated to conduct a critical test for this mission on Saturday, followed by another test flight that will carry a robot into outer space.

The final phase of this project, which involves a manned mission, is scheduled to occur by the conclusion of 2024.
