India's space research organization also announced plans to send samples to this vehicle to test flight before officially carrying people. The latest type of rocket will be used to successfully launch the satellite launch Launch Vehicle Mark III.

UPI news agency said the spacecraft is capable of reaching 10 tons of load, entering the Earth's low orbit, expected to launch in mid-year from Sriharikota space airport on the Bay of Bengal coast.

Currently in the world only the US, Russia and China can be independent for airships carrying people into space. The Indian Space Agency said it had decided to test the flight even though the government has not yet approved and funded the manned space program.

UPI said India's spacecraft was designed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Expected to operate on space within 1 week.
