On the inexperienced propellant, Sivan stated, “Even within the rocket propulsion, ISRO is creating inexperienced propulsion for its human area flight mission. In future, all of the propulsion levels might undertake inexperienced propulsion.”
The area company had deliberate to launch its maiden human area flight mission ‘Gaganyaan’ by December 2021. However early this month, ISRO indicated that it’s more likely to be delayed by one yr because of the impression of COVID-19 pandemic.

The ISRO chief inspired them to take up calculated threat as it might safeguard them from ‘absolute failure.’ “You might fail, however every failure would supply a worthwhile lesson. I can say with nice confidence that India’s area programme has been constructed on spectacular failures and every failure has resulted in enhancements in our system”, he stated.
“Innovation comes with a excessive threat of failure. You might be referred to as loopy. Preliminary end result of innovation could also be imperfect. You have to notice that you’re not failing means you aren’t attempting something laborious”, he added.
