ISRO's Analog Missions Replicate Mars Conditions on Earth

ISRO's Analog Missions Replicate Mars Conditions on Earth

ISRO is doing experiments on Earth to get ready for sending people to Mars.

They're using places like Ladakh and Kutch that are similar to Mars.

These places have extreme cold, thin air, and other harsh conditions.

Scientists are studying how humans and equipment would handle being on Mars.

This helps them understand how to build habitats and protect astronauts.

They're also testing instruments and analyzing minerals to learn more about Mars.

The goal is to be ready for real missions to the red planet, like the Gaganyaan program.
