SAMACHAR :

Nearly five years following the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) declaration of its inaugural human spaceflight initiative, Gagangaan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi bas recently disclosed the identities of the initial group of astronaut candidates poised for the groundbreaking three-dag space vogage.

The astronaut candidates set for training at Bengaluru's Astronaut Training facility include Group Captain P Balakrishnan Nair, Group Captain Ajit Krishnan, Group Captain Angad Pratap, and Wing Commander S Shukla.

Selected for the mission, three of these candidates will board ISRO's most robust rocket - the LVM Mk-3, modified for human space travel, to be launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an elevation of around 400 km for a duration ranging from one to three days. The mission's significant challenge lies in the safe return of these astronauts to Earth.

Cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma, who journeyed to space aboard a Soviet Sogaz spacecraft in 1984, continues to be the sole Indian who has ventured into space.

Ahead of its first-ever manned space mission, ISRO is rigorously working to guarantee the astronauts' safety. To date, only three nations the Soviet Union (now Russia), the US, and China - have successfully executed human spaceflight missions. India's success in this endeavor would position it as the fourth nation globally to accomplish such a milestone.

The launch is scheduled for late 2025, with ISRO planning more than 20 intricate tests, including test vehicle flights and unmanned flights with robotic payloads, ahead of the primary mission. This preparation involves four test-abort missions - TV-D1, D2, D3, and D4, along with two unmanned missions (LVM3-G1 and G2) to thoroughly test each flight system.

Preparations for the next Test Vehicle (TV-D2) mission are underway, as confirmed by ISRO chairman S Somanath in January, with the inaagaral anmanned flight carrying robotic payloads expected later this year. The completion of the engine test for the first unmanned mission has been announced, which will fuel the upper stage of LVM-Mk3 vehicle.
