According to this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut, they are vyomanauts, coined from the Sanskrit word व्योमन् (vyoman meaning 'sky' or 'space'). The wiki has some interesting terminology as to what spacecraft crew members are called by different space agencies. Dryden preferred "cosmonaut", on the grounds that flights would occur in the cosmos (near space), while the "astro" prefix suggested flight to the stars. In English-speaking nations, a professional space traveler is called an astronaut. NASA applies the term astronaut to any crew member aboard NASA spacecraft bound for Earth orbit or beyond. By convention, an astronaut employed by the Russian Federal Space Agency (or its Soviet predecessor) is called a cosmonaut in English texts. The word is an anglicisation of the Russian word kosmonavt Polish uses kosmonauta and astronauta, and the two words are considered synonyms. In Chinese, Yǔ háng yuán (宇航员, "Space-universe navigating personnel") is used for astronauts and cosmonauts in general, while hángtiān yuán (航天员, "navigating outer space personnel") is used for Chinese astronauts The term taikonaut is used by some English-language news media organizations for professional space travelers from China. With the rise of space tourism, NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency agreed to use the term "spaceflight participant" to distinguish those space travelers from professional astronauts on missions coordinated by those two agencies. and the Indian Space Research Organisation hope to launch a spacecraft in 2022 that would carry vyomanauts, coined from the Sanskrit word व्योमन् (vyoman meaning 'sky' or 'space'). In Finland, the NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra, a Finnish American, has sometimes been referred to as sisunautti, from the Finnish word sisu.
