Shukla is expected to perform exclusive experiments related to food and nutrition developed in cooperation between the Indian cosmic research organization (ISRA) and the Ministry of Biotechnology (DBT) with NASA support.
The Minister of Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said that Shaubhanshu Shukla experiments are of immense importance for future space missions, including the Gaganyaan project.
Shukla’s research will also focus on dysfunction of skeletal muscles in space and on the evaluation of therapeutic strategies that will face these effects, Jitendra Singh told journalists.
The Indian astronaut will study physical, cognitive and physiological reactions in the universe, as well as the impact of continuous electronic displays in microgravity, which is an important aspect of future space missions with long duration, PTI said.
