India’s Jahnavi Dangeti is set to become the first Indian astronaut on the Titans Space mission in 2029. A graduate of NASA’s International Air and Space Program, Jahnavi has trained globally and is a strong advocate for STEM education.

The US-based mission will take around five hours, during which time the crew will fly around the planet twice, experiencing two sunrises and two sunsets.

The mission will yield close to three hours of continuous zero gravity, providing a revolutionary environment for scientific investigation and human spaceflight development. The mission will be led by veteran NASA astronaut and retired U.S. Army Colonel William McArthur Jr., now serving as Chief Astronaut at Titans Space.
