India’s first analogue space mission kicks off in Leh
analogue space mission kicked off in Leh on Friday.
«A collaborative effort by Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth,» the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) said in a post on microblogging site X.
Aaka Space Studio, a private company specialising in space architecture and analogue research, is set to lead a 21-day Mars and Moon mission in the rugged terrain of Ladakh, the company said in a press statement.
The mission will simulate the extreme conditions of extraterrestrial environments, marking a milestone in India’s quest to advance human spaceflight and analogue research in support of the Gaganyaan programme and future missions such as Bharatiya Antariksh Station, it said.
The findings from the expedition will directly support India's Gaganyaan mission, slated to send Indian astronauts into space by 2026. By conducting rigorous tests in extreme environments, the research will provide critical insights for ensuring the safety, health and performance of astronauts during long-duration spaceflight.
