Recently, ISRO Chairman S. Somanath stated that ISRO will be independently developing the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) for the Gaganyaan mission. The development of the ECLSS for the forthcoming Gaganyaan mission heralds a transformative phase in the country's space exploration narrative. The system is being termed pivotal by experts for sustaining human life beyond the Earth's confines. ISRO's determination to craft this system independently will be a major achievement for ISRO.
