Mumbai, April 19: As India embarks on one of its most ambitious space endeavours, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to participate in a groundbreaking experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Wing Commander Shubhanshu Shukla is preparing for the Axiom-4 mission, where he will become the first Indian astronaut to live and work in zero gravity for 14 days.

Among the various experiments planned, the Voyager Tardigrades experiment stands out.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Voyager Tardigrades experiment is one of seven Indian scientific studies scheduled for the ISS. It aims to investigate the revival, survival, and reproduction of tardigrades in space. Researchers will study the creatures' ability to revive, lay eggs, and hatch in microgravity, while also comparing gene expression patterns between space-flown and ground-control populations.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla To Pilot Axiom Mission 4 to ISS From NASA슬롯사이트™s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

What Are Tardigrades or Water Bears?

Tardigrades, commonly known as 슬롯사이트œwater bears슬롯사이트 or 슬롯사이트œmoss piglets,슬롯사이트 are tiny, eight-legged micro-animals renowned for their remarkable resilience. Measuring just 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm in length, these creatures are found in diverse environments, ranging from mosses and lichens to the deep sea and polar ice.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천India슬롯사이트™s Axiom Space Ax-4 Mission: Shubhanshu Shukla Set To Fly to ISS in May, 40 Years After Rakesh Sharma슬롯사이트™s Iconic 1984 Flight to Space, Says Union Minister Jitendra Singh.
