The successful Artemis II mission has boosted confidence in India's upcoming Gaganyaan mission, as both aim to demonstrate similar spaceflight capabilities. Experts highlight the collaboration between ISRO and NASA and the shared training programmes for astronauts.
'The ISRO has done enough simulations and also redundancies have been built in so that chances of such failure are remote. Still, we have to keep our fingers crossed'
'You declare a date, time and place for the landing two months in advance and exactly at that moment, it touched on the moon.'
Efforts are also on for increasing the solar cell efficiency for energy production.
