India's first analog space mission, named Hab-1, was tested in Ladakh to simulate space conditions for astronaut training. This mission is part of ISRO's preparations for the Gaganyaan project, which aims to send astronauts into low-Earth orbit. Hab-1 is designed to replicate the limited living conditions expected on the Moon or Mars, featuring essential amenities like a kitchenette and a dry toilet. The extreme environment of Ladakh, with its rocky terrain and high altitude, provides an ideal setting for such simulations, helping to prepare astronauts for future missions.
