Did Rakesh Sharma know ham radio?? Because nowadays astronauts contact people in earth using their wireless or radio???
How were they trained for communication and what were there means and handsets???
Why were there no other manned flight missions of ISRO with Russian or any other country soon after the successful journey of Rakesh Sharma??
What were some of his experiments conducted by him during his journey??
When did he sleep during his journey, as there is no night or day durations in his journey, as such in earth???
above are some of my questions about the podcast of “Rakesh Sharma”….

This was great interview ever. Sir Rakesh Sharma is an inspiration for new generation like me. Indian genes broadcast media has been so helpful for us to know and listen about the great personality.producing motivationto new generation who aspires for learning and approaching the science field. I love the word “gaganouts” given by Rakesh Sharma sir. It was a great pleasure to involve our cultural words in research. It was great to listen that do and follow things which are compassionate about. I believe,Performing things with passion makes great potential and success. The deshbhakti of rakesh sharam was so fascinating . Finally, I end with #sarejahaseachahindustahamara
