Gaganyaan: India’s Next Leap for Space Exploration

By: Engineer's Planet

India is developing rapidly in its space sector. After the success of the Chandrayaan 3 mission, ISRO has many new missions to work on. The Gaganyaan mission is one of the ongoing missions of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It is India’s first crewed space mission. The success of this mission will make India appear on the list of countries capable of doing manned space missions. Here’s everything you should know about this mission.

Gaganyaan is India’s first manned space mission in which ISRO plans to send 3 crew members to Low Earth Orbit for three days and bring them back to Earth safely. The success of this mission will make India one of the elite countries capable of sending humans to space

1. Gaganyaan

ISRO's Gaganyaan Mission faces challenges, including determining trajectory and safe astronaut return. Selecting and training astronauts was crucial, involving Russian collaboration and extensive training in Russia and Karnataka. ISRO developed advanced simulators for comprehensive astronaut preparation.

3. Creation of Space Suit

ROSCOSMOS’s subsidiary GLAVKOSMOS gave the responsibility of making the spacesuits of Indian Astronauts for this mission to Zvezda. This company is also making individual seats and custom-made couch liners for the astronauts.

4. Suitable and Required Food

The next requirement is to select and provide suitable food in the right quantity to the astronauts while in space. This responsibility is given to the Defence Food Research Laboratory, which is situated in Mysuru.

5. Modules of Gaganyaan

The Gaganyaan mission, weighing 8.2 tons, involves designing a human-rated launch vehicle (HLVM-3), an orbital module with crew and service modules, and a crew escape system for astronaut safety.

6. Trajectory of Gaganyaan

ISRO plans an unmanned mission with robot Vyoma Mitra to verify safety and reliability before the manned Gaganyaan mission. The manned mission will orbit 400km above Earth, with the crew module landing in the Bay of Bengal.

In Conclusion,The Gaganyaan mission represents a significant milestone for ISRO, aiming to demonstrate India’s capabilities in human spaceflight. Success will establish India as a key player in space exploration, ensuring technological advancements and reinforcing the nation's commitment to space research and innovation
