In this episode, host Hanna, Armenia's first analog astronaut, hosted Rajshekhar Peri, a mechanical and aerospace propulsion engineer and analog astronaut who participated in the lunar analog mission TITANIA.
Together, they delve into Raj’s path into aerospace propulsion, his inspiration for becoming an analog astronaut, and the pivotal experiments he carried out during his mission. Raj discusses the challenges of analog astronaut training, the crucial role of mechanical engineering in such missions, and his vision for the future of simulated space exploration.
The conversation also touches on the growing potential for analog missions in India, with Raj’s plans to conduct one in the near future, including experiments focused on astronaut behaviors and how materials react in simulated environments.
