3 Indians will enter space within 16 mins of launch: ISRO
ISRO Chairman K Sivan on Tuesday said the three astronauts chosen for India's first manned spaceflight would enter into low-Earth orbit at 400 km "within 16 minutes of launch from Sriharikota". After conducting microgravity experiments for 5-7 days, the crew module would separate from the service module and make a splashdown within 36 minutes into the Arabian Sea, Sivan added.
