Iniya Pragati – Communications Officer
I completed the 21-day Lunar Mission Astronaut training program (Mission BioSignaTime and Mission Possible) at the AATC and a two-week Mars Analog Mission with Habitat Marte as Chief of the Greenhouse and Sanitation Station. Studying human cognitive behavior and the synergy of Yoga and Bharatanatyam in supporting Circadian Rhythms during missions. I worked hands-on with microcontrollers, software, and electronics hardware. It was intense— but the best experience of my life so far. I began designing my first rocket in simulation software, mapping out stages and structural components for a 1.5-meter rocket. I also trained on manual docking of SpaceX’s Dragon 2 capsule with the ISS. I dared to be a Martian—an aspiring astronaut preparing to live on Mars and help build a habitat could call home. My passion for space led me to become an author, writing a series of books to deepen my understanding of STEM fundamentals. This journey transformed me—writing made me a better reader and pushed me to invest countless hours studying Mars in every detail. I realized I had to upskill across multiple disciplines to match my love for space. My first book *Iniya in Infinite Universe* (ISBN: 9789357650670) and second book *Evidence of Water on Mars* (ISBN: 9789357657754) earned recognition as global bestsellers, winning me the Young Author award and Book Reviewer award during World Book Day. These milestones inspired me to write my third book, *Water on Moon* (ISBN: 978936434135). As the Mars Ambassador, I connect with students, institutions, public forums, and the digital world to share the excitement of STEM education, the evolution of reusable rockets, interplanetary and interstellar missions, Space Architecture, special materials for space habitats, and the spirit of the Mars Generation—people dreaming of life on another planet. I feel it’s our shared global responsibility to inspire and create awareness around sustainable living. My advocacy also aligns with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the areas of quality education for girls, women empowerment, and water conservation. I have completed UNOOSA – Space Law, Space Economy, COPUOS – Long Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities, International Space University – Tracks to space, space psychology, space law, space biotechnology, space architecture & Astrobiology. Duke University – Introductory to human physiology & Space medicine, Technical University of Munich – Space safety. Omspace – Rocket Design & Propulsion, Advanced Satellites, Avionics, and Space Architecture (Internship). As language is important to communicate, I learned Korean, Mandarin, Russian, and Hindi.
