After France, India could ink pact with Russia for 'Gaganyaan'

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.

Details
India, France signed MoU earlier to share expertise on Gaganyaan

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.

In a MoU signed between India and Russia in May'15, ISRO and Russian space agency ROSCOSMOS agreed to work on joint activities in satellite navigation, launch vehicle development, critical technologies for human spaceflight.

Strategic sectors
Indo-Russian space collaboration dates back to four decades

Russia is one of the three countries, the other two being France and the US, that share robust cooperation in all three strategic sectors of defense, nuclear, and space with India. Indo-Russian space collaboration dates back to four decades. In 2015, the two sides marked the 40th anniversary of the launch of India's first satellite 'Aryabhatt' on a Russian (then USSR) launch vehicle 'Soyuz'.
