    India plans to launch its own space station within the next 5-7 years following the successful launch of its Gaganyaan mission in 2022. The space station will be smaller than the International Space Station and allow for microgravity experiments. Developing this capability is important for conducting longer scientific studies and will boost India's status as a leader in space technologies while inspiring youth to enter the field.

    [Answered]What is India’s plan to have its own space

    station and how will it benefit our space programme?

    Demand of the question


    Introduction. Contextual Introduction.

    Body. Discuss India’s plan ofhaving its own space station and how it will benefit
    India’s space program?

    Conclusion. Way forward.

    India plans to have its own space station in the future and conduct separate missions
    to study the Sun and Venus. As the nation moves to bolster its status as a leader in
    space technologies and inspire the young minds to take an interest in scientific fields,
    India’s space agency will work on its space station following its first manned mission
    to space, called Gaganyaan in 2022.

    ISRO’s space station plan:

    1. India want to have a separate space station of its own. For this India will launch a
    small module for conducting microgravity experiments. Gaganyaan aims to send a
    crew of two to three people to space for a period of up to seven days. The
    spacecraft will be placed in low Earth orbit of 300-400 km.
    2. The agency will submit to the government after the Gaganyaan mission a detailed
    report on how it intends to set up the space station. It currently believes it would
    take five to seven years to conceptualise the space station.
    3. The Indian space station will be much smaller than the International Space
    Station and will be used for carrying out microgravity experiments (not for space
    tourism).
    4. Preliminary plan for the space station is to accommodate astronauts for up to 20
    days in space, and the project will be an extension of the Gaganyaan mission.
    5. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is working on space docking
    experiment (Spadex), a technology that is crucial for making the space station
    functional. Space docking is a technology that allows transferring humans from
    one spacecraft to another.

    Significance and benefit of the space program:

    1. Space station is essential for collecting meaningful scientific data, especially for
    biological experiments.

    2. Provide platforms for greater number and length of scientific studies than
    available on other space vehicles. (as Gaganyaan will take humans and
    experiments in microgravity for few days only).
    3. Each crew member stays aboard the station for weeks or months, but rarely more
    than a year.
    4. It would help in different microgravity science experiments in diverse fields such
    as astrobiology, astronomy, materials science, space medicine and space weather.
    5. Space stations are used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human
    body.
    6. It would help to sustain Human Space Mission in the future for a longer period of
    time.
    7. It will help in Deep space exploration like the study of other galaxies.
    8. The indigenous Space station would enhance India’s image in the international
    sphere. It would increaseIndia’s position as a space power.
    9. India can earn revenue from the commercial engagements with other countries
    from its space prowess.

    Space station would not only enhance India’s capabilities but would motivate Indian
    youth to further pursue career in space. Building a space station is not easy and carry
    various challenges. Once built the it would pave a way for India to become a space
    super-power.
