India plans to put humans in space as per latest technology
Bengaluru sources have made a statement that ISROs plan to develop technology that will allow two space vehicles to attach in orbit and also transfer material between them described in technical terms as spacecraft docking and berthing has been cleared by the department of space with a grant of Rs. 10 crores.
Sources have stated that the technology will eventually allow ISRO to transfer humans in space, but the immediate goal is to enable the refuelling of spacecraft to give them a longer life and transfer other crucial systems to spacecraft in orbit.
Meanwhile a senior scientist said, "The plan is to launch two small spacecraft to test the technology in space. India operates a huge constellation of satellites and this technology will allow ISRO to enhance their lives by refuelling them and it will also reduce space debris."
