When can India have an Indian astronaut at the ISS? Speaking at NDTV's mega G20 event, Science Minister Jitendra Singh said: "It will be in the near future. The dates have not been fixed. But the US offer is very inviting in nature. They want us to be there. We have a huge women participation in the space mission and there you cannot have a dynasty. It's purely merit. Even Gaganyaan has a huge presence of women scientists."
