That would be from Air force but in future may be also from Naval air arm.
Rs 171 crore boost to manned space project - The Times of India
MUMBAI: India's space manned flight project got a boost on Monday with the Union interim budget hiking the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark 3 programme's allocation from Rs 10 crores to Rs 171 crores.
The overall budget for India's space programme was increased from Rs 5172 crores to Rs 7238 crores. The budget has also hiked the allocation for the human space flight programme from 9.19 crores to Rs 17.05 crores.
The increase in the funding comes close on the heels of the unveiling of a crew module fabricated by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The module was handed over to the Indian Space Research Organization (Isro).
The module will be tested when the GSLV Mk 3 makes it maiden flight sometime this year. Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan said that re-entry technologies and flight dynamics of the crew module will be evaluated and will be recovered about 400 to 500 km away from Port Blair.
The present government has not yet given the formal green signal for India's manned mission programme.
The main role of the three-stage 42.4 m tall GSLV Mk 3 will be to deploy four-tonne communication satellites in the geosynchronous transfer orbit.

ISRO is inching closer to launch its ambitious human space mission with the first experimental unmanned flight of the crew module on the newly developed Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III in May-June from Sriharikota, said Dr K Radhakrishnan, chairman ISRO and secretary, Department of Space. The GSLV-MK-III is being developed as a heavy-lift vehicle capable of placing satellites weighing up to 5,000 kg in geosynchronous orbit.
“The experimental flight of GSLV Mark-III with a passive cryo stage will be flown to study the performance of the launch vehicle. This opportunity is used to study the re-entry characteristics of crew module,” Dr Radhakrishnan who was here for launching of Village Resource Centre of ISRO in Puducherry, told Express.
Speaking about the manned mission, Dr Radhakrishnan said “Currently no programme has been fixed for the manned mission. We are studying the critical new technologies for subsystems such as crew module, environmental control and life support system, for undertaking the manned mission.” The mission envisages carrying two or three crew members on the crew module to about 300 km low earth orbit and their safe return to a predefined destination on earth.

Successful testing of Parachute Recovery System for Human Space ProgrammeAerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE), Agra, successfully conducted testing of Parachute Recovery System for Human Space Programme of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on 18 January 2014 by para dropping simulated load weighing 5 ton against actual system requirement of 3.6 ton at Agra Drop Zone using IL-76 Aircraft.
The trial preceded a series of eight successful sub-systems level air-drop tests from AN-32 aircraft. The system has been designed for safe landing of a crew module of 3.6 ton weight class on sea surface. The recovery system consists of a pilot parachute, a drogue parachute and a main parachute.
In this simulated test, with integrated parachute system, the simulated load was extracted from IL-76
aircraft by extractor parachute. Subsequently a drogue parachute was deployed which in turn deployed the
main parachute. This test successfully verified the sequence of parachute deployment, configuration of the
parachute, deployment bag and other sub-systems using onboard instrumentation. ADRDE has also successfully demonstrated this technology by recovering a 500 kg class actual module for ISRO in 2007. The successful test was backed by various technologies, viz., high performance textiles, aerodynamic design, configuration optimisation, fabrication, integration, testing, validation, etc.
