Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla inspired students from Meghalaya and Assam during a 10-minute Ham radio chat from the ISS. He shared insights on space life, training, and health, urging them to dream big and become future Moon-walking astronauts
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla studied bone loss, radiation, and tardigrades aboard the ISS during the Axiom-4 mission. His experiments aim to improve space health and treat diseases like osteoporosis and muscle loss on Earth, while testing life-supporting organisms in space
Talking about the challenges of getting the body readjusted back on Earth, Shukla told his audience that the biggest challenge is the absence of gravity. "Space is a new situation for the body. So like today, I am feeling much better from what I was feeling on day one here," the astronaut said.
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is studying muscle loss in microgravity aboard the ISS under the Axiom-4 mission. His experiments could lead to therapies for age-related muscle atrophy and innovations like brain-computer interfaces for use in space and on Earth.
Atop the ISS, PM Modi hailed astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s voyage as a defining moment for India’s space ambitions. Shukla, aboard mission Axiom‑4, described life in microgravity. The interaction reinvigorates goals like Mission Gaganyaan and culminates in celebratory chants above Earth
Shubhanshu Shukla has become the first Indian astronaut to reach the International Space Station, 41 years after Rakesh Sharma’s legendary 1984 spaceflight. Launching with Axiom-4 aboard SpaceX’s Dragon, Shukla called it “a great ride” and dedicated the journey to India’s 1.4 billion people.
The Axiom-4 mission, launching today from Florida, includes Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and marks a milestone in commercial spaceflight. Organized by Axiom Space with NASA and SpaceX, the international crew heads to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule.
The Axiom-4 mission, which marks the return to space for India, Hungary, and Poland, was earlier scheduled for lift-off from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on June 19 onboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will fly to the International Space Station on June 19 aboard Axiom Space’s Ax-04 mission. He will conduct crucial biotech experiments in space, marking a major milestone as India’s first astronaut to reach the ISS.
The Axiom Space mission was to blast-off from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on June 11, but had to be delayed first due to a fuel leak in SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket and then due to a leak in the Russian section of the ISS
