Spaceward Bound India 2025
Dates: July 18-27 2025
Location: Ladakh, India
Protoplanet and University of Ladakh invite scientists, researchers, and field explorers to apply for Spaceward Bound India 2025, an immersive Mars analog research expedition in Ladakh from July 18-27, 2025.
Ladakh’s high-altitude desert, extreme cold, and unique geology make it one of the best early-Mars analogs on Earth. This program offers a rare opportunity to conduct field research in astrobiology, planetary science, instrument testing, and habitability studies.
Participants will engage in:
- Field expeditions to Mars-like terrains including ancient lake beds and permafrost sites.
- Hands-on training in scientific techniques for planetary exploration.
- Collaborative research with experts in space science, geoinformatics, and AI-based Earth observation.
This mission builds on over a decade of expeditions and learnings.
- Who can apply? Scientists, engineers, and researchers from universities, space agencies, and industry.
- Deadline to apply: April 07 2025
Join us in Ladakh to push the frontiers of space science
