ISRO General News and Updates

[Indx TechStyle]

Funny thing is I have never seen stupid people in UK ever bad mouthing Pakistani achievements. It always covered in a positive light by your sellout media and always praised by your scum politicians.

That's because Pakistan is a creation of British empire.

I have been coming across lot of Brits lately and observing same. It's a topic worthy to be discussed on relevant thread.

Russia to train Indian astronauts for Gaganyaan, signs agreement with Isro

Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Monday signed an agreement to have its astronauts for the proposed Gaganyaan mission trained in Russia.

In March, Isro chairman Sivan K had told TOI that India was most likely to pick Russia given that the two countries had previous “successful experiences” of working together. Russia’s Soyuz T-11 had taken Rakesh Sharma to space in 1984. Sharma is the first Indian to travel to space. The Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM) under the Indian Air Force (IAF) has also worked with Russia.

Sharma, who is now a member of the National Advisory Council (NAC) advising Isro on the Gaganyaan project, told TOI: “I think it’s logical to go with Russia as it has been tried and tested. We’ve used the facility before. However, I am unaware of the state of readiness of the other training establishments. And, given the tight timelines that we have this appears most logical.”

Other countries, including the US and France, were being considered initially.

On Monday, Natalia Lokteva, first deputy director general of Glavkosmos, a subsidiary of Roscosmos State Corporation (Russia’s space agency) and S Unnikrishnan Nair, director, Human Space Flight Centre (HSFC) of Isro, signed a contract for “selection support, medical examination and space training of Indian astronauts”.

“The training will be at three levels. After the rigorous selection process, two levels of training will be done at IAM and the third level will be done abroad. Simulation of real space environment, parabolic flights and training in the spacecraft et al will be done abroad,” Sivan had earlier said.

Russia also trains astronauts from across the world seeking to fly on near-earth orbits. “The access to near-earth orbit is only provided by the Russians. Therefore no matter which crew goes up into orbit, the final training is done in Russia,” said Sharma.

What kind of help? Technology or only simple non-strategic ones like training?

With France our collab will be in bio-medical, space medicine and/or other similar area.

 

[Aaj ka hero]

Only speculations.

On medicine front, we know that.

With France our collab will be in bio-medical, space medicine and/or other similar area.

So, that is simple Technology. Medicine and other things are not really strategic but only token help. Russian help is likely to be more rigorous in comparison

Nothing is token. French rocket tech on which Indian ones is based upon is much safer. Both ISRO and CNES have been together at most major space missions for mutual gains. So will be this.

As for Russia, they have much better experience in flying humans in space and will most obviously will best to tell what exactly to do.

Finally because of ISRO's massive success Bollywood too has started making science fiction movies.


Mission Mangal starting Akshay Kumar

As predicted many years ago that a successful space program is needed to develop scientific temperament in the country. Glad to see it happening.

I'd rather have liked a space science fiction movie. Mangalyaan is something that happened, an orbiter that won't infuse that much of entertainment.

A couple of new movies like Uri had decent action, we need nice science fiction movies now away from love stories.

Soon nepotic celebrities will come and describe us how hard it was to make such film they studied this film for 5 years and took interviews of thousands of officials. Moreover they also did case study of other agencies.... Blah blah... But, But ... Morons forgot to ask which space vehicle carried Mangalyan to space !! It's not Soyuz it's PSLV
