GAGANYAAN MISSION



GAGANYAAN MISSION 

Gaganyaan is India's maiden human spaceflight mission. The mission is a brainchild of the Indian Space Exploration Association (ISRO). India will be the fourth country in the world to undertake a space mission of such nature after USA, Russia and China.

This mission was declared publicly by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 15, 2018.

Gaganyaan mission will exhibit India's capacity to send humans into space and to carry out various observations/ experiments in microgravity conditions. The mission will likewise help in creating basic advancements for future space investigation missions and support India's space program.

The Gaganyaan mission will include a group of 3 explorers, who will be aboard an Indian-made spacecraft, which will be controlled by the Geosynchronous Satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) Mk III rocket now called LVM-3 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3), The shuttle will circle the Earth at an elevation of around 400 km for a time of five to seven days.

A total of 4 Indian Air Force (IAF) Pilots were selected for this mission after a rigorous selection process that kicked off in the year 2019. The selection process and subsequent preparations incorporate different parts of human spaceflight, including fitness at physical and psychological levels, microgravity simulation, crisis reaction methods, and operations related to spacecraft

Russia, France, and the US are working in synchronization with ISRO in different aspects of the Gaganyaan mission, for example, training of the crew, life support systems, and space medication.

The Gaganyaan mission is supposed to essentially affect India's space program and its stature in the space community worldwide. It will likewise motivate another age of Indian researchers and engineers to pursue space exploration and research as a career.
