Q. ‘Vyommitra’ robot, recently seen in the news, is associated with which space mission?
Answer:
Gaganyaan
Notes: India's "Vyommitra," a female robot astronaut, will precede the Gaganyaan mission, marking India's inaugural human space flight. Set for a third-quarter launch in 2024, Vyommitra simulates human functions in space, monitoring parameters, issuing alerts, and executing life support operations. Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh revealed these details, emphasizing Vyommitra's capabilities. Gaganyaan, scheduled for 2025, aims to launch Indian astronauts into orbit, demonstrating human space capabilities. The successful TV D1 test in October 2023 validated crucial systems for Gaganyaan, assuring readiness for the manned mission.
