Axiom Space's latest mission to the International Space Station has been postponed until June 10, with Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla among the crew members. Launching from Florida onboard SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket, the mission was initially set for May 29, subsequently moved to June 8, before the recent reschedule.
This historic flight marks Shukla as the second Indian to venture into space, following Rakesh Sharma's 1984 journey. During the two-week mission, Shukla and his international colleagues will engage in scientific and educational activities, with a significant emphasis on space nutrition experiments.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anticipated to communicate with the Axiom-4 team during their time onboard the ISS. Shukla aims to inspire and connect with Indian students and the space industry, using this mission as a milestone to symbolize the attainability of the stars.
