										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>India is gearing up for a historic milestone as ISRO announces that the ambitious Gaganyaan Mission will launch in December 2025. This will be India’s first manned space flight, carrying Indian astronauts into low-Earth orbit for a multi-day mission.</p>
<p>The Gaganyaan spacecraft is designed to carry a crew of three astronauts at an altitude of about 400 km. The mission will test India’s capabilities in life support, crew safety, and re-entry technology. Scientists are calling it a game-changer that will propel India into the elite league of human spacefaring nations.</p>
<p>Public excitement is soaring, with social media already celebrating the announcement as India’s next “giant leap for mankind.” Experts say the success of Gaganyaan will also boost India’s global standing in the space industry.</p>
