India moves toward a new milestone in human spaceflight, says ISRO chief, as Gaganyaan mission enters full-scale operations.

The fourth European Service Module (ESM-4), built in Germany by Airbus for NASA’s Orion spacecraft, is now prepared for shipment to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will support the Artemis program’s next phase of human lunar exploration. The module was assembled at Airbus facilities in Bremen under contract to the European Space Agency (ESA). Once in the United States, ESM-4 will be tested and integrated with the Orion Crew Module.

The spacecraft is designed to transport astronauts between Earth and China’s space station, with the maiden mission scheduled to lift off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province aboard a Long March-10A carrier rocket.

China’s space program marked another milestone early Saturday as the three astronauts aboard the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft entered the Tiangong space station, joining the outgoing Shenzhou-20 crew for a week-long handover in orbit. The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) confirmed that the Shenzhou-21 crew successfully docked with Tiangong and entered the station at 4:58 a.m. Beijing Time. The event marked the…
