    What's the story

    After an agreement with France, India is likely to ink a pact with Russia for sharing of expertise on ISRO's ambitious human space mission project 'Gaganyaan'.

    The agreement could be signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to New Delhi next month, official sources said.

    The subject to share expertise on 'Gaganyaan' came up during Union Minister Sushma Swaraj's visit to Moscow this month.

    Besides 'Gaganyaan', Russia and India are currently engaged in talks to establish ground stations for GLONASS, the global positioning system of Russia, and NaVIC, India's home-grown GPS in the other country.

    Significantly, India and France signed a memorandum of understanding earlier this month to share French expertise on ISRO's 'Gaganyaan' announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day address this year.
