Recently saw this tweet from GS:
I thought this was an exaggeration. I thought ISRO's plan for the 25ton space station would be an Indian space station. Like the Chinese & Russian space stations, the Indian space station would have very little if any foreign participation.
ISRO just put out the revised plan for the space station:
The revised model is essentially twice the weight of the original (25 tons vs 52 tons). It also has twice the crew capacity (3 vs 6). There will also be a Cupola module.
With the ISS going down by 2030s, it is hard to imagine this will not draw foreign attention & participation.
The Gaganyaan capsules are getting ISS standard docking ports. The space station will probably have the same.
All this assuming we can get the NGLV operational in time.
