Participants will have the chance to simulate the conditions and challenges of space travel in a controlled environment, providing a taste of what it’s like to explore and live in space. These expeditions offer an immersive and educational experience, allowing individuals to fulfil their dreams of venturing beyond Earth’s atmosphere”.
Former ISRO Scientist Professor Elangovan Rajagopalan is the Director of Operations at AAKA Space Studio. He reiterated that “At AAKA Space Studio, which is one of its kind in India is to create a model of the Lunar Analog Habitat (LASH). Our idea is to provide a moon camp training. We want to create a moon like environment on earth through our for the purposes of training of youngsters. They can understand how the moon with very low temperature, no gravity, no Oxygen and habitat like earth looks like and could be like. Those who are aspiring to get educated about all this for education and research purposes may join the course that we are offering at AAKA.
As a part of the training we are going to display moon like environment. We will inform and display as to how moon will not have earth like situations. At earth we have Oxygen to inhale, there is gravity, we don’t get meteors entering earth, there is no ‘cosmic radiation’ on earth from the Sun as our earth’s outer layers manage to control it. All such activities and teachings at the Moon Camp have been designed for the aspiring candidates. They can get in touch with AAKA Space Studio team to acquire ‘Analogue Astronaut Training’ details”.
