DYK-ISRO introduced Vyommitra, a half-humanoid

Vyommitra will be sent to space as a trial before Gaganyaan, which will be launched in 2022. 

The humanoid will simulate the human functions required for space before real astronauts take off before August 2022. Two trial flights without crew will take place with a humanoid — the first around December 2020 and the second around July 2021.
