India's space agency, ISRO, has launched its first analog space mission in Leh, Ladakh, to study the challenges of extraterrestrial conditions. The mission includes a compact, inflatable habitat named Hab-1, simulating life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle challenges of a base station beyond Earth. This groundbreaking project, developed in collaboration with ISRO's Human Spaceflight Centre, the University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and Aaka Space Studio, will help understand challenges future astronauts may face on missions beyond Earth. Key objectives include testing human endurance, advanced habitat designs, biometric data collection, and life support systems.
