The world of space is full of mysteries. Space agencies around the world are working to solve these mysteries. For this, many countries of the world, including the American Space Agency NASA and the Indian Space Agency ISRO, send their astronauts into space. Now the question is that if an astronaut dies in space due to any reason, then where and how is his last rites performed.
Space Mission
Most countries in the world send astronauts into space for different missions. Astronauts face many dangers while being sent into space, during which they can even lose their lives. But do you know what is done with the body of any astronaut if he dies in space?
Let us tell you that since the beginning of space missions, about 21 astronauts have died during the mission. The question is what is done with the body of a passenger after his death during a mission in space. Because a space mission lasts for several months, in such a situation it is difficult to keep the body of a passenger for a long time after his death."text-align: justify;">Where is the dead body kept after death?
Many times during a space mission, an astronaut may die due to any reason, during this time keeping the dead body is a big challenge. According to the information, if an astronaut dies during any space mission, the dead body is not brought back. Because there is very little space in the spacecraft, the dead body cannot be kept safe for long. In such a situation, the dead body is packed in an airlock suit and released into space. The dead body of the astronaut keeps roaming in the darkness of the universe for centuries. At the same time, due to the cold in the sky, it neither rots nor does it smell bad."text-align: justify;">Rules regarding death
American space agency NASA and other agencies have their own rules regarding the death of astronauts. According to scientists, the most important thing is where the astronaut died. If an astronaut dies in the lower orbit of the Earth, the crew can bring the body back to Earth in a capsule within a few hours. Let us tell you that a capsule is also given with the space mission, in which the body of the astronaut can be kept safe. Due to the cold of space, its temperature becomes such that the body can be kept safe for a longer period. But it is the decision of the crew whether they can keep the body with them or not. If there is no space in the spacecraft and the mission is long, then leaving the body in the sky is the only option.
