Two Indian aquanauts undertook a dive into the Atlantic Ocean aboard France’s submersible Nautile as part of preparatory work for the Samudrayaan Project. Samudrayaan is India’s first human deep-sea mission under the Deep Ocean Mission, aiming to send three humans in Matsya-6000 to a depth of 6,000 meters by 2027. France is among the few nations with advanced manned deep-sea exploration capabilities, alongside the US, Russia, China, and Japan. By collaborating with France, India strengthens its technological expertise in oceanography and submersible design, particularly in preparation for developing Matsya-6000, a vital component of its strategic deep-sea exploration goals.
