Mission Gaganyaan doing this spacial planning

 ISRO is learning from 'failures' for the success of 'Mission Gaganyaan', doing this special planning

ISRO chief Somnath said, "We are deliberately delaying the manned mission because it is a very dangerous mission. If it fails, then the whole project may have to be called off. With the system of a failed mission." At the same time ISRO will also have a very bad effect.




The Indian Space Research Organization is proceeding with great care about the ambitious manned flight 'Gaganyaan' and it will send an unmanned 'abort mission' before sending humans to space. ISRO chief S Somnath says that two unmanned 'abort missions' first in September and then in December to ensure the safety of the astronauts in order to go ahead with the plan of the country's first manned flight 'Gaganyaan'. ' (Abort Missions).


ISRO chief S Somanath told the English website Indian Express that before the flight of 'Gaganyaan', ISRO will conduct two unmanned 'abort missions' i.e. 'abort mission', so that the 'failure' can be simulated. and ensure the safety of the astronauts.


Human security first priority: ISRO chief

S Somnath, who is also the Secretary, Department of Space apart from the ISRO chief, said, “Our first priority is human safety. So, now we are focusing on 'abort missions', simulating failures and how to keep the crew safe in those situations. The first test vehicle for this purpose is ready and we will launch it in September this year. The manned capsule will be sent 15 km up, we will simulate an abort and then the capsule will be brought down safely into the sea by parachute.


While the second test vehicle will be launched in December this year, will be sent to a higher altitude and then brought back after similar simulation.


If it fails, the entire project may be closed: S Somnath


S Somnath said, “We are deliberately delaying the manned mission because it is a very dangerous mission. If it fails, the entire project may have to be shut down. So, we have to be extremely precise and absolutely sure. A failed mission will have a very bad impact on the system as well as ISRO."




The ISRO chief also told that the main objective of the Gaganyaan mission is to demonstrate India's capability, but it is also the first step towards the Indian space station in the future.


He said, “More and more human activity is likely to move into space in the coming decades. For example, 3D printing of organs is emerging as one of the largest areas that will move into space in the future, as zero-gravity is the perfect condition for organs to grow."


Static Testing of S200 Rocket Carrier Successfully




ISRO on Friday last week successfully completed the static test of the 'Human-rated' solid rocket carrier (HS200) for the Gaganyaan program at the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The space agency had said in a statement that the HS200 satellite launch vehicle is a 'human-rated' variant of the S200 rocket carrier of GSLV Mk III, known as LVM-3.


'Human-rated' variant is the process of certification of a spacecraft or launch vehicle to show that the vehicle is capable of carrying humans safely into space. "The successful completion of this test is an important milestone for ISRO's prestigious human spaceflight mission - Gaganyaan, as its performance has been tested for the entire duration of the first stage of the launch vehicle," ISRO said.


The design and development of the HS200 carrier was completed at VSSC, Thiruvananthapuram and the propellant casting was completed at SDSC, Sriharikota. The associated HS200 motor is the first stage of the LVM-3 launch vehicle, intended to launch a 4,000 kg class satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
