Vyommitra
Vyommitra, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is an advanced female robot astronaut designed to simulate human functions in space environments. The name ‘Vyommitra’ is derived from two Sanskrit words: ‘Vyoma’ (space) and ‘Mitra’ (friend), signifying its role as a companion in space exploration. Equipped with capabilities to monitor module parameters, issue alerts, and execute life support operations, Vyommitra is slated for a mission in the third quarter of 2024. This mission precedes the ambitious Gaganyaan mission, scheduled for 2025, which aims to send Indian astronauts into space for the first time. Vyommitra’s launch represents a significant step in technological advancement and preparation for India’s first manned space flight.
Vyommitra is a humanoid robot created by ISRO to pioneer space operations ahead of India’s first manned spaceflight, Gaganyaan. This mission is part of India’s continued efforts in space exploration and technological development. With Vyommitra’s successful deployment, India will further solidify its position in the global space community.
