A Webinar on Igniting Minds, Exploring Frontiers :

The convergence of space, education and Industry was organized –

Subhanshu Shukla started off with motivating the students –

He encouraged us to believe in ourselves, to strive to become better version of ourselves and not always focus on becoming the best.

He had started his journey by becoming a test pilot, and with consistent improvement become an astronaut. From space he identified himself as someone from Earth rather than from some nation.

He talked about the adoptiveness of human body in space and zero gravity. He shared that astronauts getting habituated to zero gravity can not easily adjust to Earth’s environment after returning.

Because of resource scarcity on the ISS, most of the resources like water are carefully used and around 98% water used is recycled.

Unlike on Earth, plants do not grow in a definite direction in the ISS.

Because of the ISS’s oldest model it does not inherently require AI but now a days AI is used for data management.

While returning, because of air resistance and friction, the spacecraft reaches temperatures of around 4000 ?F.
