Gaganyaan: Centre approves Rs 10,000 crore for human space mission

Gaganyaan：中央批准了1000亿卢比的载人航天计划预算

BENGALURU: The Union Cabinet on Friday approved Rs 10,000 crore budget for the proposed human spaceflight mission (Gaganyaan), which envisages to send astronauts to space by 2022.

班加罗尔: 周五，联合内阁批准了1000亿卢比的载人航天计划预算，计划在2022年之前将宇航员送上太空。

"The Union Cabinet has approved the Gaganyaan project under which a three-member crew will be sent to space for at least seven days," Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad announced at a press conference today.

印度联合部长Ravi Shankar Prasad在今天的新闻发布会上宣布，联合内阁已经批准了Gaganyaan任务，三名成员组成的机组人员将被送往太空执行至少7天的航天任务。

The ambitious project wasfirst announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 15, as part of his independence speech from the ramparts of Red Fort and the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has since upped the ante for its implementation.

印度总理莫迪于8月15日在红堡作独立日演说时，首次宣布了这一雄心勃勃的项目，此后印度空间研究组织加大了实施该计划的力度。

As TOI had reported earlier, Isro has kick-started the process of selecting experiments that could be performed in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where it will send Indian astronauts (Gaganauts).

正如印度时报此前所报道的，Isro已经启动了选择在近地轨道进行实验的进程，将把印度宇航员送往那里。

From testing medical equipment in space to micro-biological experiments such as biological air filters and biosensors, and from life support and biomedical waste management to monitoring toxc gases, Isro is looking at a pool of at least 10 experiments.

从在太空测试医疗设备到生物空气过滤器、生物传感器等微生物实验，从生命维持和生物医学废物管理到监测有毒气体，Isro正在研究至少10种实验。

“While we have indicated 10 areas that we are interested in, we won’t be restricting experiments to just these areas. Also, we will be getting specific experiments in these areas from various institutions across India,” one Isro official said.

一位Isro官员表示：“虽然我们已经指出了10个意向领域，但我们不会把实验局限于这些领域。此外，我们将在印度各地的机构进行这些领域的特定实验。”

Isro has also officially announced opportunities for LEO-based microgravity experiments.

Isro也正式宣布了基于近地轨道的微重力实验。

“As Isro is planning a human spaceflight mission, it seeks input from national scientific community to conduct experiments in microgravity platform in LEO,” Isro has said.

Isro表示:“Isro正在计划一项载人航天任务，寻求全国科学界的参与，在近地轨道的微重力平台上进行实验。”

Isro is working on multiple technologies for the project and its chairman K Sivan has been confident of sending humans to space by 2022.

Isro正在为该项目开发多种技术，主席K Sivan有信心在2022年前将人类送上太空。

As part of the plan, Isro plans two unmanned flights testing all the systems in 2020 and 2021, Sivan has said, even as work on making the system human rated in ongoing.

Sivan说，作为计划的一部分，Isro计划在2020年和2021年进行两次无人飞行，测试所有系统，同时还在努力让系统更加人性化。

The process for astronaut selection is yet to kick off. And, for this Isro will work with the Indian Air Force (IAF), whose agency—Institute of Aerospace Medicine—will be responsible for selecting the astronauts.

宇航员选拔尚未开始。为此，Isro将与印度空军合作，航空医学研究所将负责挑选宇航员。
