IIST, Arya Central School bag prizes in designing habitats in Mars and Titan respectively
Imagine living on Titan - Saturn's largest moon - or the planet Mars, or the exoplanet which goes by the name TRAPPIST-1e. The thrilling stuff of science fiction, right? But it could some day turn into reality; leaving planet Earth to colonise a faraway planet or a big-enough moon.
But how will these strange, inhospitable environments be tamed? That's exactly what around 1,100 students across Kerala set out to do last week as part of the World Space Week (WSW) celebrations - designing ‘space habitats’ for space pioneers of the future. The event was organised jointly by units of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) situated in the State capital.
