New Delhi: India will send a female robot “Vyommitra” in the Gaganyaan mission, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said at the NDTV G20 Conclave on Saturday, adding that a trial spaceflight will be attempted in the first or second week of October. In the subsequent mission, the female robot “Vyommitra” will be sent to space.

The Union Minister of State for Science and Technology said the Gaganyaan project got delayed due to the pandemic.

“In the second mission, there will be a female robot and she will mimic all human activities. If everything goes perfect, then we can have a go-ahead,” Singh said.
