Gaganyaan Mission was revealed by ISRO in the 2018 Independence Day address. In February 2023, the space agency will test the mission’s initial flight. In Bengaluru, the astronauts who have been chosen for the trip are receiving training.
The Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, is prepared to start a series of tests for India’s unmanned space travel mission in February of the following year, a top official announced on Thursday. In 2018, during the Independence Day Speech, the Prime Minister launched the Gaganyaan Mission, with the goal of completing it in 2022, when India would have achieved 75 years of freedom. The delay, however, has been brought on by COVID-19.
R Umamaheshwaran, the director of ISRO’s Human Space Flight Center, recently spoke to the Indian Space Congress. He stated that the Environment Control System design, which will guarantee that the astronauts in the crew service module have the best living conditions while they are circling the Earth, has been completed by ISRO experts. “Environment control” is the project’s most important component.
According to Umamaheshwaran, it was difficult to build the crew module and environment control system since it had to make sure that the astronauts were comfortable during the re-entry phase, when the outside temperature exceeded 20.000 degrees Celsius. The crew module, in which the astronauts sit while flying, will also be finished in six months. Added he, “We need to maintain temperature, supply oxygen, remove carbon dioxide and humidity, remove humidity, and make sure there is no fire threat. We wouldn’t receive this highly advanced technology from any nation.”
