What a Ride! India Re-enters Space Odyssey After 41 Years

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.
