Indian Human Spaceflight Program (HSP)

India have better ability , India's military motorcycle can carry up to 30 people , but other country can not carry so many people in a motorcycle .

Those stunts on ground are dangerous. Physics are risk involved in human spaceflight won't let India lit Gagayaan with this great talent.

Dec 2021? Isn't that kind of too rush?
India only gets 2 years prepare, good luck.

Preparing for past 13 years already.

How many of you think there will be an actual outrage given that spacesuit is likely to be of saffron colour??

Gaganyaan to be tested in wind tunnel facility of CSIR laboratory

Well, most of those preparation were ground activities, such as R&D tech, infrastructure building up, etc, etc. You will need time to assemble the spaceship, couple of flight tests. It is really hard to finish them all in 2 years (even if everything goes fine).

We had two re-entry tests earlier too.

It's not 60's analog era or (or two decades ago when India belonged to this era).
Two-three demonstrations of finalized crew module will be sufficient to validate at least a 24 hours flight.

Or better even a sub-orbital flight. India just has to fulfill the dilemma of being no. 4 before 75th independence day.

After Gaganyaan, ISRO chairman K Sivan to set sights on space station

 

[Mikesingh]

Meet Vyommitra. She's the Gaganyaan humanoid.

• Even before orbiting astronauts on India's first manned mission to the space in December 2021, ISRO will send the 'lady robot', in the unmanned Gaganyaan spacecraft. Explaining her role in the mission, the robot said: "I can monitor though module parameters, alert you and perform life support operations. I can perform activities like switch panel operations..."

• This after ISRO chairman K Sivan had said last year: "We want to make sure that this mission serves a purpose beyond displaying our ability to send humans and bring them back safely." He said that ISRO would fly the humanoid in the two unmanned flights (in December 2020 and July 2021, according to the space agency) planned before the actual human spaceflight mission in early 2022.

• Vyommitra is expected to conduct a handful of experiments in space from at least 10 areas on both occasions. These range from testing medical equipment in space to microbiological experiments such as biological air filters and biosensors, and from life support and biomedical waste management to monitoring toxic gases.

• She will also simulate human functions in space and also interact with the environment control life support system. "It will be simulating exactly the human functions there (in space). It will check whether the system is right. This will be very useful to simulate, as if a human is flying," Sivan added.

• Elaborating on the Gaganyaan mission further, he said the space agency has already developed and demonstrated key technologies such as having an operational launcher with 10-tonne payload capability to lower orbit, demonstration of mission design and management and recovery systems like space-qualified parachutes.

Good thing is that it can be expanded if budget for Space station increases.

Now, I know why there's a hatch on spacecraft in my pic. But there are 4 solar panels now instead of 2.

Training started officially now.

That cylindrical object is known as Node.
I was wondering too, why does space station need 4 solar panels instead of two.

For more power?
American skylab had 4.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, member of parliamentary committee of Science & Technology, wants government to postpone Gaganyaan in view of COVID 19.

Is calling Indian Human Spaceflight Programme as nazi style muscular nationalism.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, member of parliamentary committee of Science & Technology, wants government to postpone Gaganyaan in view of COVID 19.

It would have been understandable if he wouldn't have been calling Indian Human Spaceflight Programme as nazi style muscular nationalism. Imagine what will happen if they ever come to power!

I always wonder what if his parents had slept that night peacefully?
