Navy to train Gaganyaan astronauts on water survival after sea-landing

While the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) are pioneering the space flight, the Indian Navy has shouldered the responsibility of recovering the crew module from the Indian Ocean on its return to earth after the three-day mission. The water survival training facility (WSTF) at INS Garuda in Kochi will be training the astronauts on survival after landing in the sea.

The Navy is the lead service responsible for the crew's recovery from the sea. The module is expected to land in the Indian Ocean and the Navy will be positioning its vessels in the region. The ISRO has marked the Arabian sea for landing, with 48 backup spots.
