Narayanan 'ISRO targets seven launches this financial year'

ISRO is targeting seven launches during the current financial year, with the next mission scheduled to lift off within the next two months, ISRO Chairman V Narayanan announced on Saturday.

Speaking at a press conference following the historic maiden orbital launch of Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 rocket, Narayanan said two satellites are already fully built, while five



to six others are in the final phase of integration.

“This financial year, we have targeted at least seven launches. We will start the next launch within two months,” Narayanan said.

The space agency’s upcoming schedule includes the first uncrewed mission under the Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme, along with several satellite launches.
