What it is

Vyommitra is a female-looking half-humanoid built by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and unveiled in January 2020. Without legs, it is designed to sit in a Gaganyaan crew seat, operate switch panels, monitor cabin conditions and hold conversations in Hindi and English. It was slated to fly on uncrewed Gaganyaan test missions ahead of Indian astronauts.
