In a significant announcement, the ISRO chief revealed that India’s upcoming space station will first be operated by robots before it becomes home to human astronauts. The space station, a project currently in development, is part of India’s ambitious plans to establish a strong foothold in space exploration. This move aligns with ISRO’s vision of advancing its technological capabilities while ensuring the safety and efficiency of its missions.
The decision to deploy robots before astronauts is driven by the need for careful testing and operational assessments. Robots will be tasked with handling the station’s systems, conducting experiments, and providing real-time data back to ISRO’s ground teams. This phase will allow the agency to monitor the station’s performance and make necessary adjustments before human habitation.
As ISRO prepares to send astronauts in future missions, this robotic phase marks a crucial step in India’s space journey. The space station is expected to play a key role in research and international collaborations, with the potential to contribute significantly to global space exploration efforts.
