With billions invested in the mission, students in Karnataka can now directly interact with seasoned astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, who is currently stationed in the orbiting space station.
Earlier this year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the country's first human space flight center, aiming to kick-start its ambitious manned space mission, which is set to include a crew of Indians orbiting the Earth. As the heats toward achieving India's monumental space goals grow, the government of Karnataka is arranging for students to interact directly with experienced astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, who is currently stationed in the orbiting space station.
With billions invested in the country's space missions, the interaction is an initiative to inspire students to dream big and emphasize the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Students will have the opportunity to speak with Shukla, who is part of the founding batch of astronauts recruited by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
The government is hopeful that Shukla will be able to inspire the younger generation to pursue careers in science and space. This unique interaction will also be a valuable opportunity for students to learn about space exploration from an experienced astronaut, getting insight into the challenges and rewards of space travel.
With India's ambitious space goals, interactions like these will help motivate the future generations of scientists and space explorers to take up STEM fields. The interaction will take place shortly, so stay tuned for more updates on this inspiring initiative.
