The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its pioneering analog space mission from Leh, Ladakh. This strategic choice leverages Ladakh's unique Mars-like terrain and conditions to simulate an interplanetary habitat. The mission, led by the Human Space Flight Centre, collaborates with various institutions, including AAKA Space Studio, the University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council. By replicating space habitation challenges, this mission aims to inform and enhance future space exploration endeavours, making Leh a critical location for India's space research initiatives.
