India's manned mission to space 'Gaganyaan' to be undertaken in 2022

[Aryan0395]

n a boost to India’s aerospace missions, the Cabinet Friday approved the indigenous spacecraft project called Gaganyaan under which a three-member crew will be sent to space for at least seven days, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said. The testing phase is expected to begin from December 2020 and the mission will be undertaken from 2022, he added.

“The astronauts will be inside a crew module which will be attached to a services module to maintain services for them, and then onto an orbital module. The orbital module will be placed on the launch vehicle for the launch,” ISRO chairman K Sivan had earlier said. “The launch will take place within 16 minutes, the crew will be transported from Sriharikota to a low earth orbit of 400 km. They will stay in orbit for 5-7 days.”

Russia has committed full support to India’s manned spaceflight initiative. A crucial MoU was signed between ISRO and the Federal Space Agency of Russia ‘ROSCOSMOS’ on joint activities in the field of the human spaceflight programme during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to New Delhi in October this year.

Previously, Russia (erstwhile Soviet Union), United States and China have been the only countries in the world to have launched manned space missions successfully.

Ah, look at the Bogibeel bridge, started in 2002, completed just a week ago. Is it really cashing in? Why didn't the Congress cash in on this bridge in 2014? Any specific reason?

 

[waz]

Good going, hope the project goes well.

 

[Śakra]

Stupid name. Why not Antrikshayaan?

 

[faithfulguy]

2022? India will finish with LCA by 2010 in the year 2005. I won’t hold my breath with this bragging. I mean announcement.

 

[proud_indian]

Stupid name. Why not Antrikshayaan?

Absolutely agree with you!

 

[GHALIB]

2022? India will fish with LCA by 2010 in the year 2005. I won’t hold my breath with this bragging. I mean announcement.

we don't make assembled aircraft from do it yourself kit from china jf35

Indian Astronauts with Russian rocket and spacecraft,wow,so scary!

Same stories again and again, LCA, Vikrant etc, Chandrayaan 2, first 2016,then 2018, then 2019, I doubt even possible 2030.

Indians clearly operate on different channel, does it kill you only announce when it’s done or you are certain to be done? They thought say something on paper will gain respect

On paper indians has HSR and space crafts thousands years ago!

On paper indians has HSR and space crafts thousands years ago!

On top of that, Indians are waiting the new invention by others to claim new ancient Indian inventions.

Commentary

From official North Korean sources, back in 2012, it was disclosed that the manned Unha-X launcher would have a mass of 400 tonnes.

Kwangmyongsong SLV (the 2016 Unha-4) can send a 1'000 kg payload to a 500 km LEO. The three stages Unha-9 SLV can send a 2 tonnes payload to a 500 km LEO.

With only 4 sets of 80 tonnes force Paektusan-1 engines, totalling a liftoff thrust of 320 tf, the two stages Unha-IX-E2 with a mass of 200 tonnes could only send a single seater E2 (Mallima-1B in Korean) manned capsule with a mass under two tonnes (~1'800kg) at some 250 km LEO altitude.

Note: E1 is the only known Persian designation for the suborbital one seater manned capsule. I called it Mallima-1A for more clarity. While the orbital version is called by Me "E2" or Mallima-1B, by analogy with the U.S.' Mercury-Redstone and Mercury-Atlas concept. Also following this logic, the Redstone would be replaced with a Safir-1D SLV in Iran and a Hwasong-15 SLV in North Korea for the suborbital mission.

With 4 additional strap-on boosters, increasing the liftoff thrust to 8x 80 tonnes force or 640 tonnes force, the 400 tonnes manned Unha-X-F1 can place a dual/three seaters F1 (Mallima-2 in Korean) spacecraft at some 350 km LEO.

Therefore the very ambitious North Korean space conquest plan started in 2017, to perform a spacewalk by 2022 will need at least 6 launches to ensure the reliability of the Unha-9 as a man-rated SLV.

• Two Observation satellites
• Two Communications satellites
• One Lunar orbiter
• One GEO satellite

Notice the lunar orbiter will precede the GEO satellite as explained below:

▲ 1. Lunar gravity assist used to place North Korea's satellite into the GEO belt.


The suborbital part is only a speculation based on the Iranian plan. If it exist, then it should be conducted in parallel, as the launcher is not the Unha, sharing in common only the spacecapsule and the 10 astronauts selection.

India can never catch up with North Korea's 2022 spacewalk, as ISRO has not even considered this possibility, and time is running out.

As a last resort, only Modi Ji performing his famous Yogic Earth Rotation could snatch the 4th space superpower place from North Korea!

The fact that his remarks on the launch of manned spacewalk is not an exaggeration and can be seen from the scale of the facilities of the West Sea [Sohae] Satellites Launch Center. According to this reporter, the launch pad of the West Sea [Sohae] Satellites LC was designed to launch a 400 - ton ultra - large carrier rocket. In fact, the height of the launcher is more than 50m. He described it as a super large carrier rocket, but if it is a 400 ton class rocket, it is not a carrier rocket that carries satellites, but a carrier rocket that carries a manned spacecraft.

On April 12, 1961, the mass of the Soviet manned spacecraft Vostok 1, which flew to space with the first human Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968), was 5.9 t. And the two-stage carrier rocket of the Voskhod spacecraft that performed the first manned spacewalk was 30.84 meters long, the first stage diameter was 2.99 meters, and the mass 298.4 tons. This means that the Soviet Union developed a powerful rocket with a total mass of 304.3 tons, that could launched a manned spacecraft.

Kim Jong Un seems to include a plan to launch a manned spacewalk as well as a lunar exploration satellite in the chairman's first plan for space conquest. The model of the Unha-9 built next to the stage of the 2012.12.21 ballroom is not rocket model for manned space flight. Chairman Kim Jong Un will carry out a step-by-step implementation of the space conquest plan to launch a manned spacewalk on the new type of carrier rocket Unha-10, which is totally different from the Unha-9 model. It is to be realized in the future. In the 10 years period from 2012 to 2022.

▲ 2. The Unha-IXE2 launcher with the single seater capsule and the first North Korean spacewalk by 2022.

▲ 3. The Unha-X launcher with the dual/three seaters spacecraft.

▲ 4.Modi Ji Rotating The Earth, the only way to perform the first Indian spacewalk before North Korea by 2022!

Stupid name. Why not Antrikshayaan?

first need to understand the exact meaning of this two, Gagan and Antriksh...for me both sounds same but not the case
