India has achieved multiple successful launches this year and in 2022. Despite India's helping several other countries launch their satellites, ISRO has been denied the technology and engineering to make a life support system for Gaganyaan.

ISRO To Develop Environment Control and Life Support System:

ISRO Chairman S. Somnath has announced that the space agency will independently develop its Environment Control and Life Support System [ECLSS] for the Gaganyaan Mission after the countries denied the tech and engineering support.

S Somnath was speaking at the Manohar Parrikar Vidnyan Mahotsav 2023. He highlighted ISRO's lack of experience in ECLSS development. Somnath stated that traditionally they have been focusing on rocket and satellite design.

According to S. Somnath, " We ....no experience in developing the Environment Control and Life Support System. We were only designing rockets and satellites. We thought........knowledge would come from other countries, but unfortunately, after........discussion, nobody.....willing to give."

The Gaganyaan Mission and Life Support System:

ISRO Chairman said the Gaganyaan project is aimed to demonstrate India's capabilities in human spaceflight. It intended to propel a crew to a 400 km orbit by 2025. He emphasized ISRO's commitment to developing the indigenous system, leveraging existing knowledge and local industries.

He shared the challenges of the Gaganyaan program and stressed the nation's dedication to skill-building and design enhancement. He said the need for increased skill and confidence for successful human space travel, acknowledging the inherent risks in rocket launches.

ISRO Chairman also underscored their efforts in embedding intelligence within rockets, using sensor data, artificial intelligence, and swift decision-making to prevent potential failures.

Somnath emphasized the importance of split-second decisions during contingencies and advocated for developing technologies to preemptively handle rocket failures.

He said in the pursuit of human spaceflight capabilities, ISRO remains committed to pioneering new technologies that are essential for astronaut safety and mission success.
