What does it take for a young woman from a small town in Andhra Pradesh to train like an astronaut at NASA facilities, become the first Indian to complete AEXA’s International Air & Space Program, and set her sights on being among the first Indians on Mars?

Meet Jahnavi Dangeti – Analog Astronaut, Scientist-Astronaut Candidate, advanced scuba diver, TEDx speaker, and unstoppable STEM force.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

  • Becoming the first Indian selected for AEXA’s IASP at NASA’s Space & Rocket Center, serving as Mission Director for an international team that successfully launched a mini-rocket.

  • Training as the youngest foreign girl in Poland’s AATC Lunar Analog Mission – living in isolation, conducting robotics, aquaponics & human performance experiments.

  • Geology field training in Iceland’s volcanic highlands, walking the same paths as Apollo astronauts.

  • Completing the Astronaut Candidate Program with spacesuit training, hyperbaric altitude simulations, and full mission sims.

Making a provisional asteroid discovery using PAN-STARRS data, building a lunar sample collector (now launched into space), and tackling NASA challenges in hydroponics, rovers & more.

Balancing extreme ocean conservation dives with her mission to inspire the next generation through ISRO outreach, NIT lectures, and mentorship.

Jahnavi’s story is proof that courage, curiosity, and relentless preparation can turn childhood dreams into real space-ready skills.

🎙️ Tune in to hear how she’s breaking barriers, making science accessible, and paving the way for India’s future in deep space exploration.
