Recently the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has announced that it will launch a female robotic astronaut 'Vyommitra' before the Gaganyaan mission.
‘Vyommitra’ will be launched in the year 2024.
‘Vyommitra’ has been developed at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
It is a female humanoid space robot developed by the Indian Space Research Organization for the manned orbital spacecraft Gaganyaan.
Vyomamitra is made up of two words Vyoma+Mitra (Vyoma = universe/space, Mitra = friend).
This robot has been designed as half humanoid.
Through this project, ISRO will conduct the first test using this robotic system to ensure the safe travel and return of Indian astronauts, after which it will send the astronauts into space.
This humanoid robot was tested on GSLV. MK III.
