According to the search results, the proposed mission duration of the Gaganyaan is three days. The Gaganyaan project envisages a demonstration of human spaceflight capability by launching a crew of three members to an orbit of 400 km for a three-day mission and bring them back safely to earth, by landing in Indian sea waters. The project was commissioned in 2007 with expected completion by 2024 with a budget of around ₹10,000 crore. The first crewed flight of Gaganyaan, carrying three Indian astronauts on a short orbital test flight, is planned. The main Gaganyaan will be launched at the end of 2023 or in 2024.
