Who missed the most?

He told that when he was preparing to go to space and during the space journey he missed his family and friends a lot. He said that we were in Quarrantin since a month before going to the space, I was in training before, so it was too much time, I met my wife and child and I had not met my parents for a year. So you miss all of them too much

Although you could meet them at the time of Quality, but could meet from far away. So could not get much. So in the initial days, he missed a lot but then after that everything became exciting and it was not known when 20 days went out.

What would Shubhanshu like to live?

When Shubhanshu Shukla was asked that if he wants to choose something from the Indian Air Force or Astronaut, then in response to this he said that I think I have experienced both Indian Air Force and Astronaut. I don’t think you can choose something, sometimes something happens to you. Therefore, you should be ready for every new experience.

When Shubhanshu returned to the earth after the space journey, he first wished to eat, in response, he said that when he returned to the earth, he was very fond of eating salty. As soon as he came to earth, he had asked for chips to eat because he was in America, he was not in India. After which they were given chips. However, later he ate mini kachori which was very good.

The countrymen are proud of all of you, because you have made the countrymen proud.

Rajnath Singh said that today when we look at India’s space journey, we find that our contribution is not limited to sending satellites in space. Today India has made its presence felt from the moon to Mars. Today, India is also fully prepared for missions like Gaganyaan. I see it not just as a technical achievement, but as a new chapter of self -sufficient India, where we stand with full pride among the major space powers of the world.

‘Shubhanshu Shukla is also our voter’

Addressing the program, the Defense Minister said that India’s space program is not limited to laboratories and launch vehicles only. It is a symbol of our national aspirations and global vision. India not only sees space as the field of research, but we see it as the future of tomorrow’s economy, security, energy and humanity. In the coming time, space mining, intensive space exploration and planetary resources will also change the direction of human civilization. I come from Lucknow parliamentary constituency, Shubhanshu Shukla is from there and he is also our voter.

‘Today after forty years, Sapna became real’
Rajnath Singh said that forty years ago, when Rakesh Sharma went to space representing India, Shubhanshu Shukla was born shortly after that and a dream was born with his birth. One day I will also look at this earth from the sky and today after forty years, not only the childhood dream of Shubhanshu came true, but India once again waved its glory in space.

‘Shubhanshu Shukla is a devotee of Bajrang Bali Ji’

He further said that I was also told that Shubhanshu Shukla is a devotee of Bajrang Bali ji and you must have recited Hanuman Chalisa several times (in space). Today, a devotee of Hanuman ji has returned by touching the heights of the sky and is present among all of us. I believe, this is not just a victory of science but it is an echo of faith.

Rajnath Singh said that I was told that Shubhanshu had also cultivated in space. India has been an agricultural country, but I never thought that a farmer of India would go to space and cultivate fenugreek and moong. Certainly your experience will be very helpful in our upcoming campaigns. Today we have entered an era where space is no longer a symbol of military power or technical skills. It is a new milestone in the collective journey of human civilization.

He said that this experience will be very important in making Gaganyaan Mission safe and better.

Scientific and technical benefits
During this mission, Indian systems and protocols were tested in the actual environment of space. This also led to scientific conclusions-such as human health studies and uses on plant growth-which will shape life-support and medical systems for future Indian space flights.

Diplomatic importance

India’s Captain Shubhanshu Shukla returned from the 20 -day historical space mission, he lived a moment, which was as funny as it was. While resting in his room in Houston, he closed his laptop and left just as he would float in space, but it was the earth and the laptop fell on the ground.

Even though this moment seems modest, it gives a glimpse of the broader change that astronauts feel on their return. This change is not only of the body, it is also of brain, sensation and habits. Coming back from a world where there is no gravity, it is as challenging as to go there.

Return to Earth from Micro Gravity
The human body in space starts changing according to the atmosphere within a few days. The muscles are loose, bones start losing density and the brain learns new balance. Everything swims in microgravity and the mind also works as the same. This is what happened to Shukla. In another example, he shared that when he took a call from a colleague, he was shocked by his weight. A simple thing, which was familiar for years, suddenly started to look heavy.

Slow is faster, learning for inexperienced astronauts
In an interview with NDTV, Commander Paigi Whitson said that he first taught the Indian party in training that slows down, because if you walk fast in low gravity, you can collide with the walls, drop the machine or harm yourself, but Shukla and his colleagues did not learn this seriously and they do not make it serious and they do not become a balanced and vaginal, they do not become a balanced and vaginal, they do not learn. Has done

1.22 million kilometers journey
Under the Axiom Mission 4 (AX-4), Group Captain Shukla performed 433 hours, ie 18 days and 288 Earth. The journey was about 1.22 million kilometers, which is 32 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. The cost of this trip was around $ 7 million, which was completed with the help of the Government of India and the private company Axiom Space. This is a new era for the Indian Space Program, in which new possibilities of private partnership, global training and manned space flights are opening.

Post -science science
After returning to Earth, astronauts participate in the rehabilitation program, in which they are again trained to reconcile with gravity. This includes balance practice, strength enhancing workouts and health monitoring. Although they start feeling normal in three-four days, full recovery may take weeks. It is a proof of the flexibility of the body and mental firmness that astronauts successfully pass through this process.
