Question

Consider the following space missions:Axiom-4SpaDeXGaganyaanHow many of the space missions given above encourage and support micro-gravity research?

Accepted Answer

Recently, India has shortlisted 2 astronaut-designates for the upcoming Axiom-4 mission to the International Space Station. Axiom Mission 4 (Axiom-4): A private spaceflight mission to the International Space Station (ISS) operated by Axiom Space. Axiom-4: A private mission to the International Space Station (ISS), Axiom-4 supports microgravity research by carrying experiments related to medicine, materials science, and biology in space conditions. Hence option I is correct. SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment): An Indian mission to demonstrate autonomous docking. While its primary goal is technological, microgravity effects are often studied during such missions, especially in maneuvering and system validation in orbit. Hence option II is correct. Gaganyaan: India’s first human spaceflight program. It aims to send humans into space, where microgravity research is a key scientific objective, especially in life sciences and space medicine. Hence option III is correct.
