4 final Gaganyaan astronauts to begin Russia training this month

In September first week, India picked 12 test pilots who cleared the level-1 screening for the Gaganyaan programme. The Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM), which selected the 12 astronauts from 60 applicants, had completed one round of screening, and now Glavkosmos— a subsidiary of Roscosmos (Russia’s space agency)— has completed the screening, enabling selection of the final four.
