The India Today article discusses significant space missions by ISRO and NASA in 2026, but the headline contains elements of exaggeration and potential misinformation regarding ISRO's Gaganyaan mission. While NASA's Artemis II, a crewed lunar flyby mission, is indeed scheduled for early 2026, with launch windows opening as early as February 6, 2026, and extending to April 2026, the status of ISRO's Gaganyaan is more nuanced. Artemis II aims to send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon, testing vital life support, navigation, and communication systems in deep space, marking humanity's first return to the lunar vicinity since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Artemis II were notably rolled out to Launch Pad 39B on January 17, 2026, indicating final preparations are underway. In contrast, ISRO is targeting its first *uncrewed* Gaganyaan orbital test, known as G1, for around March 2026. This mission will carry a humanoid robot, Vyommitra, to low Earth orbit to validate critical systems like re-entry and recovery, laying the groundwork for future human spaceflight. However, multiple recent reports confirm that the *first crewed* Gaganyaan mission (H1) has been delayed and is now targeted for the first quarter of 2027, not 2026, as the headline might imply. The claim that these launches "will change the world in 2026" is an exaggeration; while both missions represent monumental advancements for their respective nations and global space exploration, their immediate, widespread impact in the year of launch might not be "world-changing" in a literal sense. The article's main body provides accurate details about the uncrewed Gaganyaan mission for 2026, but the headline lacks this crucial distinction.
