As part of the steps to deepen cooperation in civil space activities, the Indian and Australian space agencies are working together to temporarily locate Indian tracking facilities in Australia. This will support India’s planned human space flight program-Gaganyaan.
Highlights:
♦ It is designed to allow 3-7 crew members to stay in space for 3-7 days in a 400-kilometre orbit (low earth orbit or LEO).
♦ In this way, India may become the fourth country to send personnel to space after the Soviet Union, the United States and China. (Denmark also plans to conduct a manned space flight in 2022)
♦ The first of the two previous flights of the humanoid robot in Gagagna will be launched soon with some of the six shortlisted microgravity experiments.
♦ GSLV Mk III is a three-stage heavy-lift vehicle that will be used to launch Gaganyaan because it has the necessary payload capacity.
♦ Four pilots from the Indian Air Force (IAF) were shortlisted for the training of Gaganyaan astronauts.
♦ The selected astronauts have started a 12-month training at the Gagarin Research and Test Astronaut Training Center (GCTC) in Moscow.
♦ ISRO launched the first female robot "female" astronaut "Vyomamitra". It is a semi-human animal.
♦ Vyommitra will fly in space during the first test flight of the human space mission Gaganyaan. This humanoid will simulate the human functions needed in space before real astronauts take off before August 2022.
India and Australia:
In 2012, the two countries signed a formal memorandum of understanding to provide support for India and Australia's space cooperation. The two countries have been cooperating since 1987 to support data calibration and laser-firing of Indian satellites, launch Australian satellites and conduct joint research. At the virtual summit in June, the two countries upgraded their bilateral relationship to a "comprehensive strategic partnership" and reached practical agreements on cybersecurity, emerging technologies and important minerals.
