ISRO to develop ECLSS for Gaganyaan mission after failing to get it from other countries: Somanath

[ad_1] ISRO chairman S Somanath on Wednesday said the space agency has decided to indigenously develop the environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) for the upcoming human space flight mission Gaganyaan, after it failed to get it from other countries. The Gaganyaan project envisages a demonstration of Indian Space Research Organisation's human spaceflight capability by launching a human crew to an orbit of 400 km and bringing them safely back to earth by landing in Indian sea waters. It is expected to be launched in 2025. "We have no experience in developing an environmental control life support system. We were only designing rockets and satellites. We thought that this knowledge would come from other nations, but unfortunately after so much discussion, nobody is willing to ...

Gearing up for Gaganyaan mission test: How ISRO will save the astronauts

[ad_1] In an effort to enhance the safety of the astronauts in its upcoming Gaganyaan mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to conduct crucial test on the crew module's stability during splashdown in the sea. The decision comes in the wake of an incident during the TV-D1 mission on October 21 this year when the crew module, intended for ISRO's inaugural human spaceflight, experienced an unexpected upended orientation during recovery in the Bay of Bengal. Uprighting SystemTo address this challenge, ISRO is gearing up for the second test mission (TV-D2) scheduled for the next year, preceding the comprehensive unmanned test flight into space for the crew module, utilising the LVM3 rocket as part of the Gaganyaan mission.

Gaganyaan mission: With hopes of a billion people in India, ISRO successfully launches test flight

[ad_1] An important phase in the Indian Space Research Organization's Gaganyaan mission came to fruition today, October 21, as the space agency successfully launched its test vehicle into space from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The Gaganyaan mission test flight checks an important fail-safe mechanism to gauge whether the spacecraft can abort the mission mid-air and still safely bring back the crew or not. The Gaganyaan mission today did not carry any humans to space and it was an unmanned mission. The data ISRO collects from today's mission will help the agency build a more efficient vehicle when three Indian astronauts eventually go for the three-day long space flight and reach a height of 400 kilometers from Earth. The Gaganyaan mission is being conducted under the g...

India’s first manned space mission ‘Gaganyaan’ to test special capabilities on THIS date

[ad_1] India is gearing up for a significant step towards its first-ever human space mission, Gaganyaan. Senior officials from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have announced that the crucial abort capability demonstration is expected to take place around October 25. This new capability will help astronomers understand whether the mission can be safely aborted in case something goes wrong.A Key Milestone for GaganyaanThis test flight is a vital part of the preparations for Gaganyaan, which aims to send a crew of three into space, orbiting 400 kilometers above Earth for a three-day mission before safely returning. It's a big deal for India, and this test is a major milestone. A senior ISRO official stated that if all goes according to plan, the abort test demonstration will ...
