The month of August has become a symbol of pride, thrill and history for India. Just as in the year 1975, we sent the first satellite in space and stepped into the orbit of Mars in 2014, now the same golden moment has come for our oceans.

India’s Jambaz Akwanots entered the dark and silent depths of the Atlantic Ocean for the first time on August 5 and 6, sitting in the Nappy Submersible of France, where the sun’s rays never reach and the pressure can crush the human in a moment.

At the same time, Commander Jatinder Pal Singh (JP) has given 5,002 meters and NIT, Senior Scientist R.K. Ramesh has waved India’s tricolor by going to a depth of 4,025 meters. Samples and rocks present in the depth from the robotic arms of submersible were collected, where water pressure is deadly for humans. Work was done with special lights even in darkness without lights. All this happened under Indo-French Research Collabing.

How long was the journey of dive in a depth of 5,000 meters in the sea

• 5 hours descend to sea level
• Fulling scientific mission at 4 hours deep
• Return to the surface in 2.5 hours again

In depth, samples and rocks were collected from robotic arms, research was done with special lights and the entire team set a great example of Indo-French scientific cooperation during this period. The next stop is India’s Deep Ocean Mission- Ocean Mission- Ocean Campaign and Matsya 6000 (Matsya-6000).

ISRO will also be included in India’s fisheries -6000 mission

India will be posted in its deepest sea, the human-friendly Matsya-6000 will be posted in 2026. It is part of the Samudrayaan project, which is an important pillar of India’s Ocean Mission. Not only NIOT but also ISRO (ISRO) also plays an important role in this mission. Where ISRO engineers are providing technical assistance in the navigation, communication and crew safety system of submersible, just as they do in the human space mission Gaganyaan.

Of mission 6 Big goals:

• Deep C Mining and Human Submersible Operations
• Study on marine climate change
• Discovering and protection of deep marine biodiversity
• Survey and investigation of sea level
• Finding new sources of energy and fresh water
• Marine biology and capacity building

Mission Matsya-6000 The characteristics of:

• Capacity to carry three people up to 6,000 meters
• 12 hours of operation and emergency support for 96 hours
• Titanium pressure sphir, pressure-balanced batteries
• Emergency drop weight system and digital co-pilot
• State-of-the-art Health Monitoring, Underwater Acquestle Telephone and ISRO-Design Navigation Unit

Why is this mission special,

• India’s Blue Economy will get a new dimension
• Scientific study of untouched marine areas so far
• Search for new energy, minerals and biodiversity
• India’s leadership in global maritime research

Now we are not only cooperation, the leader of global missions- Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh

At the same time, during the media briefing, Union Minister of Science and Technology and Earth Sciences, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “India has now joined a few countries that have sent a human mission for a depth of more than 5,000 meters. This achievement has come only after four weeks, when Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla traveled from the international space station. Space to the ocean. Rather, he is the leader of global missions. “

He also reminded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave special priority to Deep Ocean Mission in Independence Day speeches of 2021 and 2023 and this mission is an important part of the development of developed India. Dr. Singh stressed that the ocean and space will be two columns of the economic future of India and such achievements make India in the queue of leading countries of the world.
