Aditya Pandya has achieved the distinction of becoming India’s youngest male analog astronaut at the age of 17. He completed an eight-day lunar habitat simulation conducted in Dholavira, Kutch, where a four-member crew lived in a container-based habitat designed to replicate Moon-like conditions. The mission focused on simulating isolation and autonomous operations similar to real space missions. Advanced technologies such as digital twin systems, IoT sensors, biometric tracking, and real-time telemetry were employed to monitor habitat conditions and crew health, demonstrating innovation in space research and training methodologies.
