The study project was conducted by BSIP's Binita Phartiyal, IISc's Aloke Kumar who pioneered the idea of building space-bricks from biologically solidified lunar and Martian regolith, and Gaganyaan astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla.

Its high altitude and cold, dry climate will make it the perfect place to test the tactics and technology required for extended space flights.

[6][7] In order to practice extravehicular activity and low-gravity duties necessary for upcoming missions to the Moon and Mars, the analog astronaut will capture biometric data every day, including body temperature, heart rate, oxygen levels, and other critical indications.

A unique lighting system in the habitat will help control the astronaut's circadian rhythm, enhancing their well-being amid prolonged seclusion.

[7][9] An important step forward in India's efforts to develop human spaceflight and analog research in support of the Gaganyaan program and future missions like Bharatiya Antariksha Station.

In order to gather important data for upcoming Moon and Mars missions, a lightweight, foldable fabric framework will be evaluated for performance and endurance in harsh environments.
