Dear Friends,

This is my story who dreamed of becoming a Space biologist 9 years ago when I was doing my 8th grade. I am fundraising my journey to become an Analog Astronaut at AATC, Poland

I am Ananda Padmanabhan, you can call me Ananda. I am from India and currently pursuing my Master's in Biosciences at JMU Würzburg, Germany. I am a Space Biotechnologist and an aspiring Astronaut‍.

Yesterday I got an opportunity from Analog Astronaut Training Center, Poland for a week long Lunar Analog Mission starting from November 21st and ends on 28th November. The mission fee is 400 Eruos, and I am expecting approximately 100 euros for the travel expense from Germany to Poland and return.

I am seeking funds as soon as possible to start with my travel plans.

I am really hoping to achieve this milestone in my dream to become the next astronaut from India
