Habitat-1 is India 's first -ever "analog mission" which means simulation of space conditions to prepare astronauts for real space missions.

Built with space-grade Teflon and insulated with industrial-use foam, it has a bed, a stowaway tray, storage space to keep supplies and emergency kits, a kitchenette for heating meals and a toilet.

Mission comes at a time when India is preparing to send its first astronauts into space.

Prof Sharma says data gathered in Ladakh will help develop medical technology to deal with the needs of astronauts when they face a problem in space.

In April , a team of scientists and engineers began trials in Oregon to prepare Nasa 's robot dog Lassie to walk on the Moon 's surface.
