New Indian built manned spacecraft to be constructed
India will build a manned spacecraft and send an Indian into space by 2020 under a 10-year cooperation programme using some technology Russia uses to build its Soyuz spacecraft. Russia and India have a number of joint space and military projects, including a moon exploration programme and a fifth-generation fighter jet.
The Russian spacecraft Soyuz carried Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian to go to space. He stayed in Salyut-7 orbital station for 8 days and conducted many scientific experiments.
IMO: India is poor, and short of resources. There is the disgusting US and Pakistani problem just next door. But India, historically, is the greatest nation the world has ever known and must compete against such obstacles for the good of the human race.
