The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment (CARE) is an experimental test vehicle for the Indian Space Research Organisation's future ISRO orbital vehicle called Gaganyaan. [1] It was launched successfully on 18 December 2014 from the Second Launch Pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, by a LVM3 designated by ISRO as the LVM 3X CARE mission.
On 13 February 2014, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited handed over the first boilerplate prototype of Crew Module structural assembly to ISRO for Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment (CARE). [9] [153] ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre would equip the Crew Module with systems necessary for life support, navigation, guidance and control ...
It also carried the Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment (CARE) that was tested on re-entry. [2] Just over five minutes into the flight, the rocket ejected CARE at an altitude of 126 kilometres (78 mi), which then descended, controlled by its onboard reaction control system. During the test, CARE's heat shield experienced a peak ...
The spacecraft will carry one crew in its maiden crewed mission to an orbit of 400 km (250 mi). [28] The first uncrewed flight will involve the launch of a 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) module which, after orbiting will re-enter the atmosphere and decelerate at an altitude of 7 km (4.3 mi) before splashing down. [54]
ISRO has already developed most of the technologies for crewed flight and it performed a Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment and a Pad Abort Test for the mission. [7] The project will cost less than Rs. 10,000 crore.
Before the Gaganyaan mission announcement in August 2018, human spaceflight was not a priority for ISRO, but it had been working on related technologies since 2007, [29] and it performed a Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment [30] and a Pad Abort Test for the mission.
The remains of creator Gene Roddenberry and alums Nichelle Nichols, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, James Doohan, and VFX legend Douglas Trumbull will travel to space.
Capsules entering Earth's atmosphere will be considerably slowed because our atmosphere is so thick. When the capsule comes through the atmosphere, it compresses the air in front of it which heats up to very high temperatures (contrary to popular belief friction is not significant). A good example of this is a shooting star. A shooting star ...
