NASA is set to send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of 2024, fulfilling a commitment made to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 2023 visit to the United States. This was announced by US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, who also confirmed that NASA will soon begin advanced training for Indian astronauts to support this joint mission.
The collaboration is part of broader US-India space cooperation efforts, including the NISAR project, a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), scheduled to launch by the end of the year. Garcetti commended ISRO’s achievements, particularly the cost-effective Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission.
