India’s space program will test a vehicle it expects will soon carry a crew into space in December 2021.
Minister of State for Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh, yesterday provided a written answer to questions posed in the nation’s Parliament and said an unmanned flight is planned for December 2021. A second test is planned for an unspecified time in the years 2022 or 2023, followed by what the minister called “human spaceflight demonstration.”
India’s mission is named “Gaganyaan” and aims to send three astronauts into space atop the GSLV MkIII heavy lift booster that India’s Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully used four times, most recently for its partly successful Chandrayaan2 Moon mission in 2019. The GSLV MkIII’s first flight, in 2014, tested re-entry of a prototype crew module.

5G launch (hopefully!!)
India is likely to witness some firm steps on the road to 5G in 2021. Spectrum auctions are due and some keenly awaited 5G trials will soon take place.
Jio, India s largest service provider, has already announced plans to launch 5G in the coming year. Even if this happens, though, rollout will probably be limited to a few areas of the country or be focused on the enterprise sector. Most industry experts believe 5G will not be widely available until 2022.
Jio is determined to launch this year because it hopes to sell its in-house 5G technology in the global market. Any further delay would threaten its ambitions as prospective clients choose alternative providers.
