Explanations – Analog space missions are designed to replicate the conditions and challenges of space exploration while remaining on Earth. These missions take place in environments that physically resemble extreme space conditions, such as deserts or high-altitude areas, allowing scientists to test new technologies, study human behaviour, and prepare for future long-duration space flights. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched India’s first analog space mission in Leh, Ladakh. This mission is designed to simulate living conditions in a space habitat, which is important as India plans to send humans to the Moon soon.
