Astronaut, IISc prof pitch for back-up control for safer re-entry

Isro's Group Captain Angad Pratap and IISc's Assistant Professor Jishnu Keshavan are researching a manual control system for manned spacecraft re-entry as a backup to automated systems. Their work explores astronaut-guided bank-angle manipulation to ensure safe descent within atmospheric altitudes, mitigating potential automated system failures. This enhances mission reliability by providing an additional layer of redundancy for crew capsule control.
