Consider the following statements about the Gaganyaan Mission:
- Gaganyaan Mission aims at a human lunar journey.
- Gaganyaan Mission aims at human space travel.
- 'Hindustan Aeronautics Limited' is directly involved in the work of the Gaganyaan Mission.
- Indian astronauts have made a journey into space under the Gaganyaan Mission.
Which of the above statements is not correct?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Gaganyaan is a human spaceflight programme to low Earth orbit, not a human lunar journey, so statement 1 is wrong. The first crewed Gaganyaan flight is planned for 2027, so no Indian astronaut has yet flown under Gaganyaan, making statement 4 wrong. HAL builds the crew module structure and other hardware, so statement 3 is correct, and statement 2 is correct. The statements that are not correct are 1 and 4.
