Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the Gaganyaan mission?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Reduction in Earth's temperature.
The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight program, designed to demonstrate indigenous capabilities by sending a three-member crew to a low Earth orbit. While it significantly boosts space-related R&D, fosters global collaborations, and establishes India as a major space power, it has no direct physical mechanism to cause a reduction in Earth’s temperature.
Climate change and global warming are driven by atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, whereas Gaganyaan focuses on technological advancement, scientific experiments in microgravity, and inspiring future generations in STEM fields.
