ISRO, ASA inks Implementing Arrangement for Gaganyaan

Date:

 An Implementation Agreement (IA) was signed between Indian

Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Australian Space Agency (ASA) on crew

and crew module recovery for the prestigious maiden human flight Gaganyaan mission.

The IA was also to further strengthen the cooperation in space activities between Australia

and India.

The IA enables cooperation between both space agencies on crew and crew module

recovery for Gaganyaan missions, ISRO said on Thursday.

The IA was signed by DK Singh, Director, HSFC on ISRO side at Bengaluru and

Jarrod Powell, General Manager, Space Capability Branch, on ASA side at Canberra.

ISRO has embarked on the Human Spaceflight (“Gaganyaan”) programme with an

objective of demonstrating human space flight capability to Low Earth Orbit in an

Indian Crew Module with up to three crew members for up to three days and safely

recovering them after the mission.

The IA enables the Australian authorities to work with Indian authorities to ensure

support for search and rescue of crew and recovery of crew module as part of

contingency planning for ascent phase aborts near Australian waters.

India and Australia are enduring strategic partners and both space agencies are

working closely and are committed to explore current and future collaboration

activities.

The signing of the IA is another step forward in the cooperation between Indian

and Australian space agencies.
