Rakesh Sharma was the first and only After Rakesh Sharma's space flight, the then Kalpana Chawla was the first woman to be born in our country and go into space. But, unfortunately, she died in 2003 when the space shuttle exploded while returning to space from space. She first flew into space in 1997 via the US space agency NASA. As a mission specialist, she flew into space via the Columbia space shuttle as the primary robotic arm operator. Then in 2003 the space shuttle Columbia launched into space. But, along with her and six other members, the Columbia space shuttle exploded just minutes before landing while returning. Seven crew members were killed.

Show Less astronaut, astronaut refers to those from the cosmonauts (from the Greek words for “universe” and “sailor”). In cosmonaut is used for space travelers of all nations. In the West, Chinese space travelers have come to be referred to as taikonauts (from the Chinese word for “space” and the Greek word for “sailor”), but in China the word yuhangyuan (from the Chinese words for “space” and “traveler”) is used. History and highlights As of 2022, 587 individuals from 41 countries had gone into orbit; 518 of these space fliers were men, and 69 were women. The longest time spent in space on one mission is the 438 days spent aboard the Russian Twenty-one space fliers—4 Russian cosmonauts and 17 American astronauts—have died during Challenger exploded shortly after launch; and in February 2003 seven more astronauts were lost when the shuttle Columbia broke up on reentry. In both the United States and the Soviet Union, no Challenger in June 1983. China selected two women in its second group of taikonaut trainees in 2010, and the first to fly in to space was The United States selected only pilots as astronauts until 1965, when six scientists with technical or medical degrees were chosen for astronaut training. One of them, geologist

The Gaganyaan program aims to launch an astronaut before the 75th anniversary of India's independence, in 2022, according to previous statements from the nation's space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). According to Russia's space agency Roscosmos, the four Indian astronauts "are in good health and are determined to continue their training." The trainees arrived in February and are scheduled to complete their stay at the facility in early 2021. Preparing for spaceflight The training program for the foursome has encompassed a broad range of skills necessary for spaceflight, according to the Roscosmos statement, including learning Russian and studying every aspect of the Soyuz vehicle. The Indian astronauts have also completed a variety of simulations mimicking different ways astronauts can return to Earth, including landing on the steppes, in wooded or marshy areas and splashing down in bodies of water. The Indian astronaut trainees have also undergone short-term weightlessness simulations and practiced being air-lifted from a landing site in a helicopter.Still to come in the Indian astronauts' training will be centrifuge simulations of G-forces and stints in a pressure chamber, each of which will teach their bodies what to expect from spaceflight. See more India has been pressing forward with its human spaceflight program despite budgetary constraints, although the coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll on schedule. To date, two Indian astronauts have...

So far, sending humans into space has been limited to the space programs of only three countries: the U.S., Russia (inheriting that of the former Soviet Union), and, joining them in the 21st century, China. But a fourth is poised to follow: the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), India's space exploration agency. ISRO isn't afraid to dream big. The agency's head, K. Sivan, has talked about space stations and moonwalks. ISRO hopes that the long arc toward those goals can begin with its first program of crewed missions, Gaganyaan (derived from Sanskrit, meaning "sky-vehicle"). But Gaganyaan's timetable remains murky — largely thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certainly, all the pieces are coming into place. ISRO's first four would-be space travellers recently spent about a year in Russia, familiarizing themselves on old Soyuz capsules and simulating spaceflight conditions in centrifuges and pressure chambers. Now, they've returned to India, where they'll begin training on the Gaganyaan capsule itself. To ensure that its space travellers are in good health, ISRO in April unveiled an agreement with its French counterpart. India and France have a long history of space cooperation, and France has plenty of space medicine knowledge that it has previously brought to programs like the International Space Station. "It is only logical that Indian flight medical professionals train and learn from the French," Mukund Kadursrinivas Rao, chief executive of the Centre for Spatial An...

In 1984, Indian Air Force pilot Rakesh Sharma made history by becoming the first Indian to travel to space. Mr Sharma was part of the Soviet Union's Soyuz T-11 expedition, which was launched exactly 36 years ago on April 2, 1984. On the 36th anniversary of that landmark day, a tweet by the Deputy Director of Maharashtra Information Centre, Dayanand Kamble, relives a conversation between Indira Gandhi and IAF officer Rakesh Sharma. The astronaut spoke to Ms Gandhi from space during a joint television news conference, which also included officials in Moscow. The conversation is remembered for Mr Sharma's memorable answer to the then prime minister's query about how India looks from space. During the news conference, Indira Gandhi asked Mr Sharma "Upar se Bharat kaisa dikhta hai aapko (How does India look like from space?)." Watch the conversation between Rakesh Sharma and Indira Gandhi below: 2nd April IAF officer Sqn Ldr When the then PM Smt Sharma said, "Sare Jahan Se Achcha" .

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will start a series of test flights for India's maiden human space flight mission from February next year, a senior official said on Thursday. The space agency also plans to deploy the heavy lift Chinook helicopter and the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft for testing the crew module, which will carry...
