Bioastronautics, biological research, drug discovery, and material science research in Space, said the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) Chairman S Somanath here on Friday.
He was talking at a press briefing at the Bengaluru Space Expo organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
«We are also looking at how to collaborate with other nations. There are already discussions happening with other nations on how to work together in building Space Stations and its utilisations, and joint Missions etc,» he said.
Building the Space Station is an important activity. «With India launching several satellites, it is important to have a permanent habitat, where astronauts can go and stay. Gaganyaan programme was only a one-time Mission of sending astronauts to Space but that is not enough. We need to have a continuity of Missions. Our first Mission is still not achieved, we are already looking at how we can continue this programme,» he said.
The four projects approved by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday that includes Chandrayaan-4, Venus Orbiter Mission, a New Generation Launch Vehicle, and building the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (an extension of the Gaganyaan programme) has an outlay of around Rs. 22,000 crore, he said.
