According to scientific reports, India has been preparing for decades to realize its dream of becoming a space power. It seems that human space exploration technology and manned technology are feasible for India, at least in their eyes. When India announced its plan to send humans into space in 2022, it could be said that the whole country celebrated.
According to Indian Prime Minister Narendra? Modi's speech said that India may break the barriers of space technology and realize manned technology into space, which was announced on the occasion of India's 75th anniversary. It can be said that all India knows about it. If India succeeds, it will be behind the United States, the Russian Federation and China? New general? It is also the fourth country in the world capable of carrying out manned space missions.
In fact, it is obvious that China's space technology is strong from the published manned space technology. So far, only one person in India has completed the space travel mission, named Rakesh Sharma. This man flew in earth orbit as a participant in the Soviet space program in 1984.
We can see that 34 years have passed since 1984, and there is no second person in India. India's announcement also aims to win the second and third place. Keep pace with the United States, Russian Federation and China. It is true that India has spent a lot of time and experience in these methods, trying to realize the moon program year after year, and has never given up many failures.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has set itself a deadline and is full of confidence in realizing the manned plan in 2022. ISRO also successfully demonstrated the prototype of the unit module of Gaganyaan project, indicating that it has basically reached the manned condition. According to Sivan, chairman of ISRO, the total cost of the whole project will be less than $6,543.8+400 million.
One problem is that the Indian Space Research Organization has been cutting its budget. Compared with the global counterparts, the cost in India is too low. For the future mission to mars, the budget is only $78 million, which is lower than the production and marketing costs of typical Hollywood movies. It is conceivable that India's capital comeback in this regard may be inadequate or worried about its success. If ISRO's budget forecast holds, its first manned space flight will consume about the same energy as NASA's single space observatory. The cost of the Webb Space Telescope is beyond our imagination. It is so low that we expect India to realize this.
