  • Speaking to TOI, an ISRO official said that while a pool of 10 experiments had been shortlisted, the space agency could well go beyond these 10.

    The experiments are to be conducted in space, in low earth orbit, 400km above the surface of the Earth.

    The proposed experiments could be a continuation of existing research work, or completely novel ones, and would involve premier institutes across India.

  • "While we have indicated 10 areas that we are interested in, we will not restrict experiments to just these areas. Also, we will obtain specific experiments in these areas from various institutions across India," said the ISRO official.

  • For some of the experiments, ISRO will use an enclosure in space, that will have temperatures and pressure conditions that exist on Earth.

    For the remaining experiments, like equipment testing, payloads will be outside the aforementioned enclosure, and will be exposed to the thermal conditions, vacuum, and radiation of space.

    Equipment and instruments have to be designed to survive this harsh environment.
