#FoodforThought! From #IndiaSpaceCongress2026, theme "Human Spaceflight Systems: Life Support, Health & Habitability" “When it comes to food, nutrition remains a critical challenge. Astronauts must rely on packaged food and manage with whatever resources they carry; they do not have the liberty to access or produce food as we do on Earth. These constraints are real, but space remains a fascinating frontier. As we venture further into it, we discover not only challenges to overcome, but also immense scientific, technological, and commercial opportunities.” - Shri Sunil S., GD, CRDG, LPSC, ISRO “Space is not merely a frontier of exploration; it is a frontier of human survival. Every challenge—from sleep disturbances and muscle loss to visual failure, radiation exposure, and psychological stress—demands innovative solutions. Each medical problem in space requires a corresponding engineering solution, and every solution we create for space has the potential to transform medical science on Earth. That is the true value of space research.” - Dr. Sanjay Behari, Director, SCTIMST "When we talk about Mars or Moon colonies, the greatest challenge is not reaching space but sustaining human life there. Long isolation, separation from family, radiation exposure, and disruption of the body's natural rhythm create immense physical and psychological stress. We must focus on recreation, family connectivity, yoga, meditation, and mental health support, because the success of future human space missions will depend as much on human well-being as on technology."  - Dr. Ramkishor Sah, AIIMS "The question is no more whether we can send humans into space. The more important transition begins after humans go into space—how to keep them protected, happy, cognitively sharp, and increasingly autonomous. As we move towards long-duration missions, space stations, and lunar habitats, technologies like AI, digital twins, and human-factor engineering will be essential in creating resilient, inclusive, and sustainable human presence beyond Earth." - Prof (Dr) Shivani Verma, Amity University "I always believe that space is not a linear path or a single path. Space requires pilots, engineers, scientists, artists—everyone. Everyone belongs to space. I come from a small town where people thought astronomy was astrology, but celebrating every small step creates an impact on future generations. The people who will shape tomorrow's space missions do not have to follow one path; they just have to believe they belong there." - Ms. Jahnavi Dangeti, Analog Astronaut, Human Spaceflight & Planetary Researcher | Crew Scientist #ISC2026 #IndiaSpaceCongress #HumanSpaceflight #SpaceHealth #LifeSupportSystems #SpaceMedicine #Astronauts #SpaceHabitats #SpaceTechnology #SpaceInnovation #FutureOfSpace #SpaceExploration #NewSpace

#FoodforThought! From #IndiaSpaceCongress2026, panel theme "Enabling Sovereign Satellites Globally" "Sovereignty in space is not about owning a satellite. It is about controlling the entire ecosystem: the space segment, ground segment, cyber segment, operations, and above all, the data. The future of sovereignty will not be decided on land or at sea alone. It will be decided by who controls their assets, data, and security in space. Today, denial of sea routes can disrupt business. Tomorrow, denial of space could bring a nation to a standstill."- Air Vice Marshal PARAMJIT MALHI Retd, TASL "Space sovereignty is not about possessing a satellite; it is about mastering the technologies behind it. From flight software and onboard systems to mission operations and ground infrastructure, every indigenous capability strengthens national resilience. The ultimate measure of success is not only building your own missions, but enabling others to build theirs through knowledge, training, and collaboration." - Ms. Athira B S, Scientist, HEX20 "The idea of a completely sovereign satellite is often misunderstood. You may build the satellite, launch it, operate it, and own the ground infrastructure, yet hidden dependencies remain throughout the value chain. From electronic chips and communication gateways to global ground networks and critical technologies, true sovereignty is not absolute independence but the ability to maintain strategic control over your assets. In today's interconnected world, space power requires both national capability and global cooperation." - Mr. Gurvinder Chohan, Managing Director, Reliasat "In the space age, sovereignty and cooperation are not opposites; they are complements. A nation must own its critical technologies, control its strategic assets, and secure its data, while remaining connected to global partners. The challenge is not choosing between independence and collaboration, but building enough capability that collaboration happens from a position of strength." - Mr. Vinod Kaul, RVP – Asia (South & South East), Gilat Satellite Networks "Today, denial of sea routes can disrupt business. Tomorrow, denial of space could bring a nation to a standstill. Owning satellites is only the beginning. True sovereignty comes from controlling the data, the networks, and the infrastructure that connects them." - Air Marshal GS Bedi (Retd), Senior Advisor Defence and Strategic Operations, XDLINX Labs Pvt Ltd #ISC2026 #IndiaSpaceCongress #SovereignSatellites #SpaceSecurity #SpaceIndustry #SpaceTechnology #SatelliteCommunications #StrategicAutonomy #SpaceEconomy #NewSpace #SpaceInnovation #FutureOfSpace #GlobalSpace
