What is the name of the analog mission setup inaugurated by ISRO in Tso Kar Valley, Ladakh, in July 2025 ?
HOPE
An analog mission recreates conditions of another planet or the Moon on Earth to test habitats, equipment and crew health before real space missions.
ISRO inaugurated HOPE (Himalayan Outpost for Planetary Exploration) in the Tso Kar valley of Ladakh, whose high altitude, cold, low pressure and saline soil resemble early Mars.
Gaganyaan is India's human spaceflight programme itself, not an analog station, so the setup at Tso Kar is HOPE.
Hence, HOPE.
