Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has short-listed 20 space-based experiment proposals, including from France, for its proposed Venus orbiter mission 'Shukrayaan' to study the planet for more than four years.
These include "collaborative contributions" from Russia, France, Sweden and Germany, sources in the Bengaluru- headquartered space agency said.
ISRO was earlier eyeing June, 2023 for the country's first mission to Venus.
"But we are currently reviewing this mission timeline due to delays arising from the pandemic situation", an ISRO official said.
"Future launch opportunity is either in 2024 or 2026".
