The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), whose original plan was to launch two missions that were not printed before the human spaceflight brought astronauts to low Earth Orbit (LEO) as part of the event program, could launch a more unclear.
The National Level Council Advisory Board (GAC) will receive a last call on how many unsolicited missions that may need to be done after evaluating data from the two first missions.
As reported by TOI last week, the first mission that was not turned off is now impossible before June 2022, and ISRO will not send a life support system for the test.
The Chair of the ISRO K Sivan told Tii: “…
we may need to do more than two unprint missions.
The GAC has suggested that the first mission that is not turned off must be done as soon as possible.
Based on how the system appears during the mission and evaluation of the first and second data , GAC will decide whether we need more missions before the astronauts are sent.
“7-14 orbits? Also, there is no final decision about how long the astronauts will eventually spend at Leo as part of the first mission has been taken.
A source of the team’s team said that they might only do “seven orbits”, or best, “fourteen”.
Any satellite in Leo can do around 14 orbits in a day – which means Indian astronauts can spend one day in space.
“Preparation (system development) is to keep astronauts in the space for a week.
However, we may be a little more careful on the first mission.
That said there was no decision taken about how long they would spend there,” Sivan said.
The Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal Both of the next options, ISRO views the choice of west and east coast for landing orbital modules after returning.
The source said that the plan was compiled to land in both sea but the landing could eventually occur in Bengal Bay.
“The Arabian sea is less rough compared to Bengal Bay, but the latter has a better infrastructure for recovery modules that remember that landing will take place closer to Blair port.
At this point, we keep both open options,” Sivan said.
40 Ground Stations & 2 Satellites too, ISRO will use at least 40 Ground Stations – India and those included in other countries – to track astronauts when they travel around the earth other than launching two satellite relays.
“In general we only need several stations to track our satellites.
But for the human mission all orbits need to be tracked, so we have been tied with 40 stations around the world,” said Sivan.
He added that these stations will still include 40% of the orbit modules around the earth and the remaining 60% will be covered by two ISRO relay satellites will be launched.
“The first satellite will be prepared in March-April next year and the second when we launched a second mission that was not loved,” Sivan said.
