Astronaut Training for Children in NASA

Astronaut Training for Children NASA


A news clip carried a story of a girl who became a pilot. And, the experiences which gave her the flight of imagination to become a pilot. It's the story of the Maitreyee piloted a flight which was facing a technical snag and managed to land safely on the ground with 141 passengers to Trichy. 

In the article, there was the mention of astronaut training for children by NASA. On reading this, I was wondering if ISRO has similar program. 

While searched online, I found couple of activities and training conducted by ISRO. One such programe is YUva VIgyani KAryakram (YUVIKA)  or "Young Scientist Programme"by ISRO. One more thing I wish to know is how similar are the training given by NASA and ISRO, which can ignite the imagination of young minds! 

Do ISRO benchmark their training for young people with the similar other astronaut related agencies? Do they contact attendees to know what they experienced and try to add to their training programme. 


Just thinking!
