Where is all this information about this suit?
The suite for ISRO, they haven't released any info regarding the life support/monitoring system on the suite. But here is what it will be used for.

Isro's mission to probe Sun before 2020
CHENNAI: Indian Space Research Organization has lined up over a dozen missions, including its first probe on the Sun,Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan said on Friday.
Though, the mission to probe the Sun was already on the cards, the agency now has a clear picture of its plan and had put a timeframe within which it hoped to undertake it, Radhakrishnan said, while addressing students at a private University here.
He said the "Aditya" mission to the Sun had been planned between 2017 and 2020.
"The mission would be around the Earth. A few equipment are being planned for that. We hope for the launch between 2017 and 2020," Isro chairman said.
Apart from Aditya, space habitat studies were also being planned in these three years.
Before that, Isro would focus on Astrosat — a project aimed at design, development, fabrication and launch of an astronomical observatory for studies of cosmic sources — and Chandrayaan-II between 2014 and 2017.
"We are planning to have an indigenous lander and rover for Chandrayaan-II mission," he said.
However, later during an interaction, he declined to comment whether the Union Cabinet had cleared the project.
Isro's next in line was IRNSS 1-B, the second of seven satellites, which form the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System — an Indian equivalent of USA's Global Positioning System.
The launch of IRNSS 1-B was likely in April first week, while the experimental launch of GSLV Mark III was expected in the last week of May or in the first week of June, he said.
On the capacity of launching vehicles, he said Isro aimed at increasing the capacity of GSLV by four tonnes between 2014 and 2017 and further enhancing to six to 10 tonne before 2020.
Detailing on the utility of Isro satellites in tackling natural disasters, he said three satellites, including Kalpana and Insat-3D were very helpful during the recent "Cyclone Phailin", sending over 400 images during crucial four days.
"With their inputs, we were able to predict the velocity, intensity and the date of landfall almost accurately," he said adding the loss of life was only six or seven due to the cyclone.
Updating on Isro's ambitious inter-planetary mission to the Mars, he said the Mars Orbiter Mission, launched on November 5 last year, had travelled over one third of the total distance of 680 million kilometres.

GSLV Mk-lll launch vehicle development cost increases
India today approved the revised cost estimates of Rs.2962.78 crore for completion of the development programme of Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV Mk-lll) and to carry out an experimental flight called LVM3-X. The additional fund requirement is Rs. 464.78 crore to complete the scope of the project including one experimental flight called LVM3-X and two developmental flights called GSLV Mk-lll D1 and GSLV Mk-lll D2.
The Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk-lll) project was approved in 2002 with a budget of Rs. 2498 crore. The developmental budget was increased in view of cost escalation in the project elements, modifications in design, new elements and other factors required to complete the scope of the project including two development flights. The scope of the project is also required to be augmented to include an experimental flight (Launch Vehicle Mark-Ill – Experimental: LVM3-X) to validate the critical atmospheric regime of the flight.
The Experimental flight of GSLV Mk-lll (LVM3-X) with flight versions of Solid Stages (S200), Liquid Stage (L110) and a passive cryogenic stage (C25) is planned in 2013-14, to validate some of the new systems and flight sequences, hitherto not demonstrated in PSLV/GSLV flights.
The first development flight (GSLV Mk-lll D1) with an operational cryogenic stage is planned in 2016-17. The second development flight (GSLV Mk-lll D2) is planned after one year of GSLV Mk-lll D1 flight in 2017-18.
Development of the GSLV Mk-lll launch vehicle is expected to augment the capacity of the Indian space programme to launch 4T class satellites to Geo¬synchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO)and thereby significantly reduce the demand-supply gap of transponders in the country.

Parameters of Mars Orbiter are normal
All health parameters of the Mars Orbiter Mission are normal and a mid-course correction manoeuvre is likely to be carried out in early April, according to S. Arunan, Project Director, Mangalyaan.
“The second of the four trajectory correction manoeuvres will be made, probably on April 9, to make minor changes that may be required owing to the solar radiation pressure on the spacecraft,” he told journalists here on Saturday, on the sidelines of Probe-2014, a symposium at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchi (NITT).
The mission boasted several new technologies, and the onboard autonomy was an important feature. Since there would be a communication delay in view of the long distance involved, the autonomy enabled the spacecraft to take decisions on its own. This option could be incorporated in the future missions of the ISRO as it would help to cut ground complexities and improve the reliability of satellites, he said.
The success of Mars Orbiter Mission, he said, enhanced the image and brand of the country in space technology. The ISRO proposed to bring India’s science laboratories under a wider umbrella to develop scientific payloads for more elaborate studies and investigations on planets, even possibly for a landing mission.
Later, in a presentation at the symposium, hosted by the Electronics and Communication Engineering Association of the NITT, Mr. Arunan said the Mars Orbiter Mission proved the country’s capabilities in deep space communication, navigation, mission planning and management.
Presiding over the inaugural ceremony, NITT Director S. Sundarrajan said that under the changing educational scenario, innovation and inspirational teaching was the key. Competencies had to be shared among institutions and the curriculum must meet industry requirements.

India’s Mars mission 200 days away from reaching destination
India’s ambitious maiden inter-planetary voyage Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), launched in November last year, has covered over 21 million km and as of today is exactly 200 days away from reaching the red planet’s orbit on September 24.
The MOM probe was travelling with a helio-centric velocity of 29km per second and radio signals sent from Isro Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) ground stations near Bangalore takes 142 seconds to reach the spacecraft and return, Isro said.
“If everything goes as planned, MOM will get inserted into its Martian orbit around, exactly after 200 days from today,” the space agency said in a posting on its social networking site Facebook page.
“MOM team switched ‘ON’ and checked all the five scientific instruments on-board MOM in February 2014. The health parameters of all these instruments are normal,” Isro said.
The agency has performed six orbit raising manoeuvres around the Earth following the launch of the mission on November 5 last year from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, some 100 km from here.
It further performed the Trans Mars Injection (TMI) manoeuvre on December 1 last, which gave the necessary thrust to the spacecraft to escape from Earth and to initiate the journey towards Mars, in a helio-centric Orbit.
The first Trajectory Correction Manoeuvre was conducted on December 11 last year and three such exercises are planned — next month, in August and in September.
If India succeeds in sending its mission to the Mars’ orbit, it would become only the sixth in the world after the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and China to have achieved the feat.

ISRO new temple of modern India: Tharoor
Indian Space Research Organization is the new temple of modern India, Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor today said.
Tharoor said that in last few years India has advanced in the space technology and has contributed very efficiently internationally.
Talking about the developments of India’s space agency he said “like Nehru said dams are the temples of modern india, today ISRO has become the temple of modern India.”
Tharoor praised the recent launch of the Mars orbiter and GSLV D5 by the space research organization.
He was attending the launch of India’s first space odyssey thriller movie ‘The Strategist’ directed by Prasanth Panamoottil.
“The scientific history of India which is never written collectively even today, we are going to write it. There was such a rich background of ancient scientific history which has somewhere got lost. The movie is about the struggle of the scientists and the visionaries,” Panamoottil said.
“A larger part of the movie is in English but ‘Brahmi script’ that had existed centuries back will also be used in the movie. The movie’s budget what we are expecting is about 250 crores.” he said.
The release of the movie is planned for January 26 next year and the announcement of the cast and crew will be made at the music launch of the movie.
The film promises to be a classical thriller and revolves around personalities who played an important role in India’s space programmes–Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, Indira Gandhi, Satish Dhawan, APJ Abdul Kalam and many more.
