This mission is very special for India because Shubhanshu will become the first Indian to visit the International Space Station (ISS) and will be the second Indian to go to space after Rakesh Sharma’s mission in 1984.

Shubhanshu Shukla gave emotional message before launching

Shubhanshu Shukla has given a passionate message before launching. He has appealed to the countrymen to pray for the success of the mission. Shubhanshu said, “I want to tell the people of India that this mission is a milestone and I want you all pray for its success. Even stars can be achieved.”

Shubhanshu will fly from Kennedy Space Center in America

The Axiom-4 mission with Shubhanshu and three other astronauts will fly from the Kennedy Space Center in the US. This vehicle will be connected to ISS at 4.30 pm on Thursday after a journey of about 28 hours. Astronauts will spend about 14 days on ISS and will participate in many scientific and technical experiments there. This mission is running a private company named Axiom Space, which also has the support of NASA and Spacex.

This mission has been postponed 7 times

This mission was averted 7 times earlier. The reason for this was technical problems and pressure in the ISS module. Now all technical work has been completed and everything is ready for launch.
