3 Indians will reach space within 16 minutes of launch: Isro chairman

Three Indians who will be chosen for the country's first human space flight programme will reach space within 16 minutes of the launch from the Sriharikota spaceport. They will spend five to seven days in the low-earth orbit before the crew module makes a splashdown in the Arabian Sea off the Gujarat coast, Isro chairman K Sivan said.
