India, US To Send Indian Astronaut To The International Space Station Next Year
Delhi/Hyderabad, Sept 9 (Maxim News): India and the US said that they have started talks to put in place a strategic framework for human space flight by year-end as they plan to send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station in 2024.
In the meeting held between US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi before the commencement of the G20 meeting, Joe Biden congratulated Narendra Modi on the historic landing of Chandrayaan-3 at the south polar region of the Moon and the success of the Aditya-L1 solar mission.
“Determined to deepen our partnership in outer space exploration, ISRO and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have commenced discussions on modalities, capacity building, and training for mounting a joint effort to the International Space Station in 2024, and are continuing efforts to finalize a strategic framework for human space flight cooperation by the end of 2023, said a joint statement issued after the 52-minute talks between the two leaders.
During Modi’s visit to the US in June, Biden had announced India and the US were collaborating to send an astronaut to the international space station in 2024.
On Friday evening, Biden drove to Modi’s official residence at the Lok Kalyan Marg soon after his arrival at the airport here. “India and the United States also intend to increase coordination on planetary defense to protect planet Earth and space assets from the impact of asteroids and near-Earth objects, including US support for India’s participation in asteroid detection and tracking via the Minor Planet Center, the joint statement said.
“Having set a course to reach new frontiers across all sectors of space cooperation, the leaders welcomed efforts towards the establishment of a Working Group for commercial space collaboration under the existing India-U.S. civil space Joint Working Group,” the joint statement said. (Maxim News)
