Hello Friends ....
Today we learn about What is Gaganyaan Space Mission 2022...?
So let's Start....
Gaganyaan 2022: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday announced that India will send an astronaut to space in the year 2022. He was addressing the nation on India’s 72nd Independence Day. “I make this announcement today, before 2022, an Indian astronaut – son or daughter – will be in space. One of us will carry the tricolour to the space to commemorate the 75th year of India’s Independence.”
If India does launch the Gaganyaan mission, it will be the the fourth nation to do so after the United States, Russia and China.
In what appears to be a preparation for the Gaganyaan mission, ISRO last month conduced its first ‘pad abort’ test that was successful.
The ‘pad abort’ test or Crew Escape System is an emergency escape measure that helps pull the crew away from the launch vehicle when a mission has to be aborted. The test was conducted at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
“The Pad Abort Test demonstrated the safe recovery of the crew module in case of any exigency at the launch pad,” the space agency said.
In his Independence Day speech, Modi also praised India’s ISRO – Indian Space Research Organisation for its successful launches over the years. Modi highlighted the Mangalyaan and Navic project.
Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first lunar probe. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008 and operated until August 2009.
ISRO chairman on Gaganyaan
K Sivan, the chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation said, “PM Modi has given a target of 2022 and it’s our duty to meet it. We are already on the job and we have completed many technologies like crew module and escape systems. The project has been underway, now we need to prioritise and achieve the target.” Sivan is also a scientist associated with the ambitious mission. He added that they are duty-bound to fulfil PM Modi’s promise and asserted that the space agency has the “capability” achieve the target.
Gaganyaan space mission 2022 Key Challenges
While talking about two biggest challenges, an ISRO scientist cited the need for a big rocket and training of astronauts. Scientist Tushar Jadhav said, “We need to enhance technology to achieve this, deadline looks tough but we certainly have the capability to do it. A big rocket and astronaut training are two main challenges.”
Gaganyaan 2022 mission: Impact on jobs
Speaking to PTI on Wednesday, ISRO Chairman K Sivan spoke about the impact of the mission on jobs and said that the plan to send an Indian into space for the first time will create 15,000 jobs. “15,000 jobs would be created under the human space mission,” he said.
Other crucial mission undertaken in India
Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first lunar probe. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008 and operated until August 2009. Mangalyaan is another Indian space project. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan, is a space probe orbiting Mars since September 24, 2014.
