 Why in News

  • ISRO and Department of Biotechnology (DBT) have signed an agreement for space experiments to be integrated into India’s future space station, the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS).

  • This collaboration highlights India’s growing focus on space research and biotechnology.

Why Collaborate for Space Experiments?

  • The key challenges in space missions are the continuous availability of nutrients, preservation of food, microgravity and radiation, health hazards such as cancers, cataracts, bone and muscle loss among others. 

  • The MoU will help address these issues using biotechnology. 

  • Potential Experiments: 

    • Investigating the effects of weightlessness on muscle loss in astronauts. 

  • Identifying algae species that could serve as nutrients or extend food preservation. 

  • Exploring the processing of specific algae for jet fuel production. 

  • Assessing the impact of radiation on the health of individuals aboard space stations.

  • The initiative aligns with India’s goal to develop a robust bio-economy, projected to reach $300 billion by 2030.

    • BIOE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment) policy by the DBT aims to stimulate ‘bio-manufacturing’

Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS)

  • BAS is India's proposed indigenous space station for scientific research. 

  • It will be built in three phases and will have five modules.  

  • The first module, known as BAS-1, is expected to be launched in 2028, and the station will be fully operational by 2035.  

  • Orbit: The BAS will orbit the Earth at a height of around 400–450 kilometres.  

  • Weight: The station will weigh about 52 tonnes

  • Astronauts will be able to stay in orbit for 15–20 days

  • Modules: The BAS will have a crew command module, habitat module, propulsion module, and docking ports.  

  • The BAS will be used for scientific research, including microgravity experiments, earth observation, and fostering innovation.  

  • The BAS will promote international collaboration with other countries and space agencies.  

  • The ISRO will lead the program, which will also involve industry, academia, and other national agencies.
