India’s space agency has collaborated with a top fashion institute to craft ground uniforms for the four astronauts selected for the inaugural Gaganyaan space mission.
The astronauts met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February donning striking blue uniforms designed by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Bengaluru. The NIFT team, led by Prof Jonalee Bajpai, opted for an asymmetric design symbolizing energy and tranquility, with the blue hue representing the sky and peace, all crafted from Indian cotton-based fabric.
