National desk:
India’s recent space missions have led to more students showing interest in space research and engineering. Among them is 17-year-old Aditya Pandya, who recently completed an eight-day lunar simulation mission in Gujarat. With this, he has been recognised as one of India’s youngest male analog astronauts.
The mission took place from February 1 to 8 in Dholavira, located in Gujarat’s Kutch region. It was organised by AAKA Space Studio, which works on planetary analog research and is registered as an ISRO Space Tutor.
