Mission: India achieved great success in its space missions during the months of July and August last year. India launched Chandrayaan-3 on 14 July 2023, which became the world’s first satellite to land on the South Pole of the Moon on 23 August 2023 at around 6 pm.
Anniversary of Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1
After that, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched a new mission named Aditya-L1 on 2 September 2023 to gain more information about the Sun, which reached the place on 6 January 2024, where it had to closely observe the activities of the Sun.
Therefore, overall the months of July and August during the last year i.e. 2023 were very special for the Indian Space Research Organization. Now ISRO has decided to give a new good news before the anniversary of these achievements. Actually, during this time ISRO is going to start a new mission in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration i.e. NASA.
ISRO preparing for new mission with NASA
Actually, under this mission, America’s space agency NASA is going to send two scientists of ISRO into space. ISRO has informed that the training of two astronauts of India for this mission is going to start at NASA’s Johnson Space Center located in Texas, America.
Let us tell you that the deal for this mission was done between India and America last June 2023, when the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi visited America. During that US tour, US President Joe Biden had asked PM Modi to send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station i.e. ISS.
This will be a joint mission of India’s ISRO and America’s NASA. In this mission, one of the two Indian astronauts who have received training at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Moscow, the capital of Russia, will go to the International Space Station under this common mission of ISRO and NASA. For this, both these Indian astronauts will be trained at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
Mission expected to launch in October 2024
According to a report in the Times of India, the training of Indian astronauts is going to start in August at NASA’s training center and this mission can be launched in October 2024. Former ISRO chairman K. Sivan says that this mission will be very important for new technology as well as India’s Gaganyaan program.
The Gaganyaan mission, organized by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is India’s first human space travel mission. Under this mission, a three-member crew of India will be sent to space for three days. The objective of this mission is to increase India’s space transportation capability. According to this, under the Gaganyaan mission, a spacecraft will be built that can carry some astronauts and stay in space for about a week and then return safely to Earth.
