SCIENCE LAB SPECIAL : SPACE INDIA

 

Esteemed Global Students interested in getting to Space - should list their interest through an email to The World Students Society.

INDIA'S orbital objective : India's space program has landed a robot on the moon and put a spacecraft into orbit around Mars. 

The country's most immediate priorities are much closer to Earth, but that doesn't mean that they are less ambitious.

India is focusing on human spaceflight. A member of the nation's astronaut corps, Wing Commander Shubhanshu Shukla, is to spend up to 14 days this spring aboard the International Space Station during a commercial mission with the company Axiom Space.

Mr. Shukla and his fellow Indian astronauts are hoping to be first to launch into low Earth orbit on its homegrown rockets.

India said in December that an orbit vehicle from the program, known as Gaganyaan, was being prepared for a test launch with no astronauts aboard.

A successful flight could lead the way to a crewed Indian astronaut launching as early as 2026.
