== Experiments and objectives ==
On 7 November 2018, ISRO released an Announcement of Opportunity seeking proposals from the Indian science community for microgravity experiments that could be carried out during the first two robotic flights of ''[[Gaganyaan]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for Low Earth Orbit based Microgravity Experiments - ISRO|url=https://www.isro.gov.in/announcement-of-opportunity-ao-low-earth-orbit-based-microgravity-experiments|archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20181121212659/http://www.isro.gov.in/sites/default/files/microgravity_experiments_ao.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 November 2018|access-date=22 January 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Human Mission: ISRO looking at pool of 10 experiments in space|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/human-mission-isro-looking-at-pool-of-10-experiments-in-space/articleshow/66582995.cms}}</ref> The scope of the experiments is not restricted, and other relevant ideas will be entertained. The proposed orbit for microgravity platform is expected to be in an Earth-bound orbit at approximately 400 km altitude. All the proposed internal and external experimental payloads will undergo thermal, vacuum and radiation tests under required temperature and pressure conditions. To carry out [[microgravity|micro-gravity]] experiments for long duration, a satellite may be placed in orbit.
