Chandrayaan 3 is the focus now
But I want to ask you about two other important projects of ISRO. One is Gaganyaan that’s also in the works right now. What can we expect?We wanted to ensure that the vehicle wherein they are travelling, the launch vehicle, that should be of human-rated level, reliability level.
Otherwise, we are able to launch only spacecraft, now humans too are being launched, so obviously reliability level will be higher, so it will be human-rated. So that is one technology. Another one is the technology where we need to create an environment which is easy for the people to survive, that is a crew module and environment control life support system is another system.
And also when we are launching them, in case there’s some emergency and we ensure that these astronauts are back safely, escape from the system and brought back safely, then the fourth one is that is after the mission is over, this astronaut should be brought down, and ensuring that they are passing through a very adverse environment of heavy heat and land at the exact location. So here, a huge amount of technology development is required.The other ambitious project of isro is NISAR, a joint effort with NASA. Probably one of the costliest projects we have ever seen in recent times.
