High weight of crew module (due to crew).
No possibility of testing crew module with crew ahead of launch.
(hence unmanned tests conducted) 4. Acclimatization of astronauts to zero gravity
Significance and benefits to society:
- Development of scientific temper and inspiration to youth (Article 51A(h))
- Growth of private sector in space ↓ lot of parts of Gaganyaan are being sourced from pvt companies and local MSMEs
- Development of technology for auxiliary industries
- Growth of new initiatives such as INSPACE, etc
