The U.S.-based Space Exploration and Research Agency (SERA) on Monday announced India as a partner country in its human spaceflight program, which will see six citizen astronauts from across the world launched into space. The program, being executed in collaboration with Blue Origin, is meant for people from countries who have sent "few or no astronauts" to space, the agency said. The selected citizens will undertake the 11-minute journey in New Shepard, Blue Origin's reusable suborbital rocket, after undergoing training at its launch site in West Texas. The final candidate will be selected by the public through a public vote.
