Jahnavi Dangeti: India’s Aspiring Astronaut Selected for Earthloop Orbital Cruise 2029

  ๐Ÿš€ “Meet Jahnavi Dangeti: India’s Youngest Astronaut Candidate for Earthloop 2029 Mission”


๐ŸŒŒ Who is Jahnavi Dangeti?



Jahnavi Dangeti, a 22-year-old from Andhra Pradesh's West Godavari district, is making waves in the global space community as she’s been selected as one of the astronaut candidates for the 2029 Earthloop Orbital Cruise — a private space mission designed to orbit Earth.

She is an alumna of NASA's International Air and Space Program (IASP) and has become a symbol of India’s rising space potential, especially among youth and women.


๐ŸŽ“ Educational Background

  • Schooling: Visakhapatnam

  • Graduation: B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering

  • Advanced Training:

    • Completed training at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center under the IASP

    • Attended various international workshops on aerospace, robotics, and space simulation


๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿš€ What is the Earthloop Orbital Cruise?

The Earthloop 2029 mission is a commercial, low-Earth orbit (LEO) spaceflight planned by Earthloop Space, which aims to offer orbital experiences to specially trained astronaut candidates from across the globe.

This is not a space tourism trip, but a real orbital mission involving earth circling, space training, and experiments — and Jahnavi is among the few Indian participants chosen so far.


๐Ÿ›ฐ️ Achievements So Far

✅ First Indian to complete NASA’s International Air and Space Program
✅ Trained in zero gravity, underwater astronaut simulations, space survival, and Mars walks
✅ Participated in Analog Astronaut Missions with analog space environments
✅ Selected for various international space youth forums and panels
✅ Delivered TEDx Talks on her journey and space future


๐ŸŽฏ Mission Timeline (Earthloop 2029)

  • Pre-Mission Training (2025–2028):

    • Space medicine, orbital mechanics, zero-G training

    • Simulated spacewalks and system operation

  • Launch Target: 2029

    • Vehicle: TBD (likely via commercial partners like SpaceX or Blue Origin)

    • Duration: Several orbits around Earth over a few days


๐Ÿ”ฅ Why Is This a Big Deal for India?

Jahnavi represents the new era of space talent from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. She:

  • Breaks the stereotype of astronauts coming only from elite institutes like ISRO, NASA, or the military

  • Inspires girls and STEM students to dream beyond boundaries

  • Reinforces India’s image in the private space race and youth innovation


๐Ÿ“ธ Images of Jahnavi & Her Journey





๐Ÿ’ฌ Quote from Jahnavi:

“I never thought a girl from a small town in Andhra could train for space, but I believed in my dreams. This is just the beginning.”


๐Ÿ“ข How You Can Support or Follow Her


๐ŸŽฏ Final Thoughts

Jahnavi Dangeti is not just India’s next astronaut-in-making, but a beacon for every student with sky-high dreams. Her journey shows that no matter where you come from, with focus, effort, and belief — space is not the limit.
