MUMBAI: Gujarat may have the honour of welcoming back the Gaganyaan astronauts when they return after their seven-day mission in space.
Nilesh Desai, director of Isro’s Ahmedabad-based Space Application Centre (SAC), said this at a presentation on Saturday organized by Space Geeks Mumbai and other organisations. As of now, the mission is expected to splashdown off Veraval in Gujarat in the Arabian Sea, and as a contingency measure even a zone in the Bay of Bengal is being considered. The exact place will be finalized soon,’’ he said in the webinar.
The crew will be recovered in 15 to 20 minutes and, thereafter, they will be placed under quarantine. Only after they complete their quarantine period and get back to work, can we declare the mission over,’’ he said.
