Articles about Gaganyaan
The Gaganyann program was conceptualized by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It aims to explore the possibility of crewed spaceflight using an orbital spacecraft designed to carry three people. The Gaganyaan spacecraft is a low-Earth orbit craft that was scheduled to fly its first crewed mission in December 2021. Now, the mission has been deferred to no earlier than 2023. According to ISRO, the total development cost for the Gaganyaan program is approximately Rs. 9,023 crores. The uncrewed missions are for technology demonstration and reliability verification to study the performance of systems before a crewed flight. The new technologies required for the Gaganyaan program include a human-rated launch vehicle, crew escape systems, a habitable orbital module, life support systems, and crew selection and training. For the first crewed mission, pilots are selected from a pool of Indian Air Force test pilots. ISRO has said that after successful completion of the Gaganyaan program, the next step is to focus on achieving capability for sustained human presence in space. To this effect, the detailed proposals and modalities for a space station will be worked out in the future.
