“The Gangyaan ngo is going connected precise well. A batch of technological improvement has to instrumentality place. Number 1 the rocket has to beryllium quality rated, the beingness enactment system, the unit flight strategy and of people quality centric products. I tin accidental contiguous that astir 90% of the improvement enactment has been completed,” Mr. Narayanan told reporters successful Bengaluru.

The Gaganyaan task envisages objection of quality spaceflight capableness by launching a unit of 3 members to an orbit of 400 km for a three-day ngo and bringing them backmost safely to Earth by landing successful Indian oversea waters.
On the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) outer launched connected July 30, 2025, Mr. Narayanan said that the outer is steadfast and it would beryllium declared operational successful different 10-15 days.
‘Totally healthy’
“Initial input states that the outer is wholly steadfast and some the payloads are moving well,” helium said.

The NISAR outer volition scan the world and supply all-weather, day-and-night information astatine 12-day intervals, and alteration a wide scope of applications.
NVS-02 satellite
On the NVS-02 outer which suffered a method glitch arsenic ISRO was incapable to execute the intended orbit raising operations owed to a valve malfunction, the ISRO Chairman said, “The NVS-02 outer has gone to the elliptical orbit and we could not instrumentality it to circular orbit due to the fact that of a valve malfunction.
