Andhra woman becomes first Indian to complete Nasa program, to go to space in 2029

A young astronaut candidate from Andhra Pradesh has been chosen to join Titans Space’s first astronaut class in 2025 and is scheduled to participate in their 2029 orbital mission.
Her selection came after notable accomplishments, including becoming the youngest non-native analog astronaut and the pioneering Indian participant in Space Iceland’s Mars-like geology training program.
Jahnavi completed NASA’s International Air and Space Program, contributed to asteroid discovery via Pan-STARRS data, and promotes STEM by delivering talks at ISRO and NIT institutions.
She shared on Instagram her excitement about turning a longtime dream into reality and announced that starting in 2026, she will embark on a three-year intensive training program to prepare for a five-hour mission orbiting Earth.
The mission, led by veteran astronaut William McArthur Jr., will allow Jahnavi to orbit Earth twice, experience three hours of zero gravity, and signifies a milestone for Indian civilian spaceflight.
