Space Suit has been tested to assess leak and material compatibility under vacuum conditions.
ISRO plans to commission an Environmental Simulation Chamber (ESC) before the end of 2014 to test engineering model of subsystems of ECLSS and the flight suit.

The GSLV-III or Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III is a current launch vehicle development project by the Indian Space Research Organization that got underway in the early-2000s.It is capable of placing 8 tons in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), to launch the manned spacecraft into a 275 km to 400 km orbit.

Actually most of India's top scientists and intellectuals are from the Dravidian South.

Most of the Indian scientists living in the West are from the South.

Yes, but why? What is it about the South? Better education? People etc?

I think it's a nerdier culture. Cant really go in depth about it.

It boils down to culture.North India has a primitive culture which doesn't value education,science & technology where as in South India it's the opposite.Majority of IT& BPO offices,R&D centers & Engineering hubs are located in the south.

I think most south Indian parents consider Education as the only thing which brings wealth, pride, better socio-economic status.
This mindset is common all over India but quite extreme among south Indians..

Some TA members keep believing in Caucasoid superiority despite something opposite has been happening in India..
South Indians are just 20% in India but they are majority in many high paying fields..
Actually, Caucasoid or Weddoid/Australoid got nothing to do with their success..only cultural reasons..

Even caste doesn't matter much, cuz Brahmins are not more than 25% of those achievers

My guess would be better education. Kerala and Tamil Nadu have better literacy rates than other Indian states, and they are in the south. Bihar, in Northeastern India, has the worst.

This shows India is capable of reaching greatness. Which was not hard to believe since it's one of the earliest civilization the world has seen the Indus Valley civilization. The myth of the superiority of only people with certain looks and so on are superior or intellectual is being shattered every single day.
