The Indian manned spacecraft temporarily named Orbital Vehicle is intended to be the basis of the Indian human spaceflight program.
The space capsule will be designed to carry three people, and a planned upgraded version will be equipped with rendezvous and docking capability.

In its maiden manned mission, Indian Space Research Organisation's largely autonomous 3.7-tonne capsule will orbit the Earth at 400 km (250 mi) altitude for up to seven days with a three-person crew on board.
The crew vehicle is planned to be launched on ISRO's GSLV Mk III.
This HAL-manufactured crew module had its first unmanned experimental flight on 18 December 2014.

The OV is a fully autonomous three-ton capsuled spacecraft designed to carry a 3-member crew to orbit and safely return to the Earth after a mission duration of few orbits to two days.

The space capsule will have life control and environment control systems.
It will be equipped with emergency mission abort and emergency escape that can be done at the first stage and second stage of the rocket.
The Orbital Vehicle is slated to be launched on the GSLV Mk II launcher.
