The Morning Standard
|June 26, 2025
NAMASKAR to all my countrymen. What a ride! After 41 years, we are back in space and what a ride it has been.
These were the first words of Axiom-4 mission pilot and the first Indian to travel to space in 41 years, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla (nicknamed Shux), when the mission was launched at 12.01 pm Wednesday from Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, after six postponements since May 29.
The commercial space mission by Axiom Space was launched in collaboration with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and the European Space Agency (ESA).
The spacecraft is now scheduled to dock with the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, 4.30 pm, 28-and-a-half hours after launch.

ND then there was one—India. Back-to-back T20 World Cup champions. Not really a surprise if you have fol- lowed the men’s team in this format over the last 18 months. Their planning and detailing were obsessive, leaving little to chance. If their triumph in 2024 came ina loaded field with a couple of favourites, this crown felt more inevitable, even if there was an unexpected stumble against South Africa. Their body of work leading up to the tournament was superior to that of any other team ina format known for its fickle, unpredictable nature.
