At the 9th India US Civil Space Joint Working Group meeting held at ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru on 5 and 6 August, NASA invited ISRO to participate in its Artemis Moon Base programme, a lunar South Pole base being developed under the Artemis Accords framework. India became the 27th signatory to the Artemis Accords on 21 June 2023. The invitation comes as India's own human spaceflight programme progresses, with the first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission carrying the half humanoid Vyommitra targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, ahead of two further uncrewed flights and India's maiden crewed orbital mission.
