The first uncrewed mission of the Gaganyaan mission is going to be launched in the next three months. Its final preparations are going on.
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has prepared a complete roadmap for the next 15 years. For this he has prepared a calendar of space missions till the year 2040. This has revealed a lot of information related to India's space mission.
In this direction, the first un-crewed mission of the Gaganyaan mission is going to be launched in the next three months. Its final preparations are going on. After this, two robotic spaceships will depart, including a humanoid robot sent to Vyomitra. Humanoid refers to a robot that can behave like a human with the help of artificial intelligence.
The plan is to send astronauts in late 2025 or early 2026. Out of the four astronauts selected for the Gaganyaan mission, two Indian astronauts will orbit the Earth for three days.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi awarded astronaut wings to four astronauts at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC) on February 27.
ISRO to send 3 human flights by 2029 ISRO plans to send two Indian astronauts into space three times in five years. The number of astronauts and days may increase depending on the success of the mission. The first Gaganyaan mission is to be followed by a second human flight of Gaganyaan in 2026-27 and a third human flight of Gaganyaan in 2028-29.
6 satellites will be launched next year ISRO will launch 6 satellites next year. These include GSAT-7R for Navy, GSAT-7B for Army, GSAT-N2 for broadband and in-flight connectivity, GSAT-N3 for defence, paramilitary, railways, fisheries and two satellites for maintaining connectivity with Gaganyaan. 6 surveillance satellites will also be launched.
In January 2020, the first glimpse of the humanoid Vyomitra surfaced. Vyomamitra is composed of two Sanskrit words vyoma meaning sky or space and mitra.
Space Mission Calendar of ISRO
- The plan is to orbit the moon and bring back humans in 2024-25.
- Chandrayaan-4 mission will be launched in 2026-27. The plan is to bring (collection/return) samples from the lunar surface. This will be followed by Chandrayaan-5, which will be called the Lupex mission.
- In 2028, Module-1 of the Indian space station will be sent into space. Meanwhile, there will also be a demo of the indigenous Spacecraft Docking Experiment (Spadex). In this, two spacecraft orbiting in space can be joined together.
- 2031 Humanoid missions will be sent to the Moon.
- There is a plan to set up an Indian space station in 2035.
- Plans to land an Indian robotic humanoid on the lunar surface in 2037-38. Will send Shukrayana for study of Venus.
- There are plans to step on the lunar surface in 2040.
What is Mission Gaganyaan? Gaganyaan is India's first manned space flight mission under which four astronauts will go into space. This will be a 3-day mission, under which a team of astronauts will be sent to an orbit 400 km above the Earth. If India succeeds in its mission, it will become the fourth country to do so. Earlier, America, China and Russia have done this.
