Consider the following space missions : I. Axiom-4 II. SpaDeX III. Gaganyaan How many of the space missions given above encourage and support micro-gravity research?

Describes an Indian cosmonaut (Rakesh Sharma) performing bio-medicine experiments and exercises to study effects of yoga during weightlessness on Salyut 7.

A student could generalize that human spaceflight missions (especially station/crewed flights) commonly carry microgravity biology/medicine experiments and thus check if Axiom-4 is a crewed/station-related mission.

Notes that Mangalyaan carried scientific tools to study Mars’ atmosphere and surface—showing ISRO missions routinely include mission-specific science payloads.

Use the pattern that ISRO and similar space missions often include dedicated scientific payloads; verify whether Axiom-4’s mission profile/payload list includes microgravity experiment modules.

Lists multiple ISRO science missions (AstroSat, Chandrayaan, Aditya L1) and mentions student-built small satellites, indicating a practice of carrying diverse scientific experiments on missions.

Infer that if Axiom-4 is an ISRO-associated or science-focused mission, it may follow this practice; check Axiom-4’s affiliation and stated scientific goals for microgravity research.

Explains that deep-space probes carry objectives to study environments and return data, illustrating the general rule that spacecraft have mission-specific scientific objectives.

Apply that rule to Axiom-4 by identifying whether its stated objectives include microgravity studies (common for near-Earth/crewed missions) versus remote sensing/deep-space goals.

Suggests designing experiments (e.g., plant growth on the Moon) as classroom tasks, highlighting that space missions are platforms for life-science experiments related to altered-gravity environments.

A student could use this as a cue to look for life-science or plant/biology experiment mentions in Axiom-4’s mission description to infer microgravity research support.

Describes an Indian spaceflight (Rakesh Sharma on Soyuz) during which biomedical experiments and studies of weightlessness were performed — a clear example that Indian-partnered missions have carried microgravity research.

A student could infer that if SpaDeX is a spacecraft mission (especially crewed or human-tended) or is run/partnered by agencies with this history, it is plausible to support microgravity work; they should check SpaDeX's mission type and payload list.

Lists multiple ISRO missions (AstroSat, Chandrayaan, Aditya L1) that carry scientific instruments and payloads, showing a pattern of Indian missions including dedicated scientific experiments.

If SpaDeX is an ISRO mission or uses similar mission planning, one could expect a published payload manifest indicating whether microgravity experiments are included; check official payload lists.

Describes Mangalyaan carrying scientific sensors to study planetary environment — an example of mission-specific scientific payloads being flown by Indian missions.

Apply the pattern: determine whether SpaDeX's stated objectives include scientific experiments (particularly life sciences or microgravity) by consulting its mission objectives or instrument complement.

Notes development and use of sounding rockets (Rohini family) in India's programme; sounding rockets commonly provide short-duration microgravity environments for experiments.

If SpaDeX uses a rocket/sounding-rocket platform or references sounding-rocket heritage, a student could infer a technical capability to host microgravity experiments and should check vehicle/platform details.

Summarises institutional development (INCOSPAR, SSTC, VSSC) and growth of India’s space infrastructure that enabled experimental missions and payload development.

Given this institutional capacity, a student could reasonably look for SpaDeX affiliation with these centres or departments to judge whether it likely supports experimental microgravity payloads.

Describes an earlier Indian human spaceflight (1984) where the Indian cosmonaut performed bio-medicine experiments and yoga studies during weightlessness.

A student could note that human missions have historically carried microgravity/biomedical experiments and therefore check whether Gaganyaan, as a crewed mission, follows that precedent by looking for listed science payloads.

Notes that ISRO spacecraft (Mangalyaan) routinely carry scientific instruments to study atmospheres, surfaces and related science.

Use the pattern that ISRO equips missions with scientific payloads to infer Gaganyaan might also carry experiment hardware; verify by comparing mission payload lists or ISRO announcements.

Lists multiple ISRO scientific missions (AstroSat, Chandrayaan, Aditya L1) and mentions ISRO enables student-built satellites, showing institutional support for science experiments on missions.

From ISRO's established practice of hosting experiments and educational payloads, a student could look for similar programmatic statements about Gaganyaan supporting microgravity research or student experiments.

Documents ISRO's early infrastructure for sounding rockets and a Space Science & Technology Centre, indicating capability to support space science and experiments.

Combine this with knowledge that sounding rockets and centres often conduct microgravity and space life-science studies to motivate checking whether Gaganyaan leverages the same infrastructure for microgravity experiments.

Describes development of indigenous rocket technology (Rohini sounding rockets) and expansion of ISRO, implying national capability to host mission experiments.

A student could reason that with indigenous launch and research capabilities, a crewed mission like Gaganyaan could be expected to carry scientific experiments and then seek official payload lists to confirm.
