Indian Space Research Organisation Vyommitra Specifications

Vyommitra is a female-appearing humanoid robot developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the Gaganyaan mission, India's inaugural crewed spaceflight program. Designed to simulate human functions in space, Vyommitra is a half-humanoid, possessing a head, torso, and two arms, but lacking lower limbs. This design enables it to operate effectively within the spacecraft's microgravity environment.

Equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, Vyommitra can perform a range of tasks essential for space missions. It is capable of operating switch panels, managing environmental and life support systems, and issuing warnings if cabin conditions become uncomfortable for astronauts. Additionally, Vyommitra can recognize and respond to human interactions in both Hindi and English, enhancing its utility as an interface between the spacecraft's systems and its human crew.

Vyommitra's primary application is to serve aboard uncrewed Gaganyaan missions, conducting experiments in microgravity and monitoring module parameters to ensure system readiness for subsequent crewed flights. By simulating human presence, it allows ISRO to assess the performance of life support and other critical systems under space conditions, thereby contributing to the safety and success of future manned missions.
