"This is a place to make sure that information survives technology obsolescence, time and ageing. That's our mission," says founder Rune Bjerkestrand, leading the way inside.
Her brother, she says, is undertaking this journey for his country - for the next generation."He always tells people to dream big, to do something for the nation. We are hoping that his trip will inspire the next generation."
Besides piloting the mission, the Indian astronaut will have a busy schedule during his time on ISS.Considering the huge interest in the flight, Isro has said they are organising events for him to interact with Indian students and answer their questions while floating in space."We believe it will motivate our young minds to become passionate about space tech," Mr Balan said.
But most of the time, the four-member crew will be conducting 60 scientific experiments, seven of which come from India.Former Nasa scientist Mila Mitra says Isro's experiments will help improve our understanding of space and its effects on biology and micro-gravity.
One of the key experiments, she explains, will investigate the impact of spaceflight on six varieties of crop seeds.
"This project aims to help understand how crops may be grown in space for future exploration missions. After the mission, seeds will be grown for multiple generations and plants showing preferred traits will be selected for genetic analyses."His main rival was the ruling party candidate and a former member of Yoon's cabinet, Kim Moon-soo.
He had been trailing Lee for weeks in polls and in the early hours of Wednesday, he conceded defeat, congratulating Lee "on his victory".In an earlier speech, Lee had hinted at the win but stopped short of declaring it. He said "recovering" South Korea's democracy would be his first priority.
The snap election comes just three years after the 61-year-old lost his last presidential bid by a razor-thin margin to Yoon.It's a remarkable comeback for a man who has been caught in several political scandals, from investigations over alleged corruption to family feuds.
