Aaka Space blends science psychology design

Training underwater lets astronauts practice things like spacewalks and equipment handling in a safe but challenging setting.
Aaka Space has already worked on cool projects like the Ladakh Human Analogue Mission, where it simulated operational and psychological conditions similar to extraterrestrial environments.
