ISRO Reveals How Many Astronauts Will Be Hosted on the Bharatiya Antariksh Station: Report

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced the development of the Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), a significant project aimed at enhancing India’s presence in space exploration. Weighing approximately 52 tonnes, the space station will initially host three astronauts as per a report, with a future plan to expand its capacity to six. The capacity of the BAS was reportedly revealed during the Kannada Technical Seminar held at the U.R. Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru.

. It is expected to play a critical role in studying microgravity’s effects on human health and testing technologies necessary for sustaining life beyond Earth.

The space station is expected to be leveraged for space tourism and resource utilisation, marking India’s venture into commercial space applications.

Focus on Sustainable Space Habitats

According to the publication, ISRO has emphasised the need for creating sustainable habitats in space. This initiative aligns with the global trend of building infrastructures to enable long-term human presence in outer space. Efforts are being made to ensure the space station is capable of supporting extended research missions.

With countries like the US and China advancing their space programmes, India’s move to establish its own station reflects its commitment to becoming a prominent player in space exploration. As per reports, the BAS could also contribute to international collaborations, scientific research and inspiring younger generations to pursue Space Science.

The BAS is positioned to advance research, inspire innovation, and open doors to new commercial opportunities. While the project is still in its development stages, ISRO’s efforts are expected to add to the understanding of outer space and its potential for humanity.
