Talk Title: Indian Human Spaceflight Programme- Challenges and Opportunities
Speaker: Dr Unnikrishnan Nair S.,Director, Human Space Flight Centre, ISRO, Bangalore
Abstract
ISRO had initiated technology development for re-entry vehicles way back in early 2000. The first such experiment was space capsule recovery experiment (SRE) and this was followed by other missions like CARE and PAT. With the approval of Gaganyaan, the technologies for both engineering and human centric systems are rapidly progressing. The crew selection process for the manned mission has been initiated with participation of Indian airforce. The talk will cover the history of re-entry experiments in ISRO, challenges and opportunities in human spaceflight missions and the future directions.
