New Delhi:
India and America are using the upcoming NASA-Israo joint flight of an Indian astronaut in space as a large outreach activity between the world’s oldest and world’s largest democracy.
A mission readiness review is planned for Wednesday that can detect the last launch date – currently 8 June 2025.
For the upcoming Indian Space Power Mission for the International Space Station, group captain Shubanshu Shukla will be part of two very special global outreach activities, which may include live interactions with students in India.
In addition, it has also been discovered that the call sign for Captain Captain Shukla — will also act as five special human biology experiments that will be jointly conducted by NASA and ISRO to carry forward the understanding of human biology in space.
This is a welcome addition. So far, India’s science uses seemed to be very thinner than a total of 60 experiments to be done in fortnight long missions.
Group captain Shukla was already slate to conduct seven India-specific experiments, including research how algae can be used as food; How growing seeds and human eyes in space respond to subtlety.
Now, in his 14-day mission, group Captain Shukla will also subdue his body to some human biology experiments.
Incidentally, it was previously revealed that no research on yoga would be done as part of this shock mission.
On the outreach schemes, the manager, manager of the International Space Station Program of NASA said, “We have to participate in ISRO, and then we will have members of the leadership of the space agency, with a discussion of an interactive kind. And then for STEM Outreach, we have a doubles activities that we are planning together,” he said.
This will include a downlink from ISS to Earth.
Adding this, ISRO’s project director Mr. Sudesh Balan said: “There is a student incident. Our astronauts must be interacting directly with the student community. So two events that we are planning across the country”.
Live events among astronauts in space and Terra Ferma have a great attraction among the audience.
It was not known at the Tuesday’s Mission Overview Press Conference whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi would interact with the group captain Shubanshu Shukla while in space.
There is a lot of expectation for that potential Modi-shakes dialogue.
In 1984, the live event between Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and astronaut Rakesh Sharma, when he was on a ship at the Russian space station, created a sensation. Asked how India looks from space, Rakesh Sharma said “Surrey jahan to good”.
Group captain Shukla’s visit to space arrives in 1984 after Rakesh Sharma’s prestigious spaceflight on Russia’s Soyuz Spacecraft.
Group Captain Shukla is scheduled to pilot the Oxiom Mission 4, a private astronaut mission, which will fully launch a completely new before flying the SpaceX Dragon Capsules, which will actually cryston. The crew will fly on the Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which will be on its second flight. Therefore the Spanking New Dragon Capsule and used Falcon -9 rocket will help pursue the Axiom -4 crew.
Mission, which is jointly done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and ISRO, will be a historic event for India, as the group’s captain Shukla’s mission will feed the country’s own human space flight program in Gaganan Mission.
Group Captain Shukla Pegi Whiteson, a former and famous NASA astronaut and mission commander, Slavos Uznanski-Viznivski’s Poland and Hungary will be with Tibor Kapu.
Once do the dock, astronauts are scheduled to spend for 14 days aboard the parikrama laboratory, which operates a mission including science, outreach and commercial activities.
The group Captain Shukla acts as a astronaut nominated and mission pilot.
A decorated test pilot with IAF, he was shortlisted under ISRO’s Human Spaceflight Program and is one of the top contenders for India’s first indigenous crew orbital flight, Gaganian Mission.
His journey in Axiom Mission 4 is expected to provide significant hands on space-making, launch protocol, microgravity adaptation and emergency preparations-all necessary for India’s powered space ambitions.
“The crew is insured,” says Alan Flint, head of Mission Services. “We insure the mission and for many reasons for its entire scope. Relative to the nuances of his cost and what is insured and there are things of that nature, they are details that we are not able to disclose publicly”.
The chairman of ISRO, Dr. V. According to Narayanan, the price of Mission, which will be away from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will be priced at Rs 550 crore.
