Mysuru: Astronauts going out in space exploration missions would often have to forego their favourite food items and survive on canned food. India’s first-ever manned space mission Gaganyan is now set to change that.
Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) will prepare food that will suit the palate of the four Indian astronauts (Gagannauts) to be trained for the week-long sojourn in outer space. Four pilots of the Indian Air Force (IAF) are undergoing training in Russia with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to undertake the mission that will be launched in 2022.
