Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, a Group Captain with the Indian Air Force (IAF) and a "gaganyatri" with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has successfully returned to Earth, concluding his historic Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4). The mission, a collaboration between Axiom Space, NASA, and ISRO, saw Shukla become the first Indian to visit the International Space Station (ISS) and only the second Indian to go to space after Rakesh Sharma in 1984.
India’s space hero, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, is on his way back home nearly a year after he left for training in Houston, Texas, ahead of the Axiom-4 mission. The astronaut, who recently spent 18 days aboard the International Space Station, is expected to arrive in India on August 17. His homecoming has already been hailed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day address. While Group Captain Shukla was in space, PM Modi assigned him a "homework": document the whole sequence of his training and stay at the space station for what would become the manual for India’s own Gaganyaan program, the country’s first human spaceflight program.
The ambitious mission intends to launch an Indian astronaut from Indian land using an Indian rocket, with an Indian countdown. The program is called Gaganyaan, and the astronauts are named Gaganyaatris.
