India has invested an estimated ₹550–600 crore over a training span of 700+ hours to prepare IAF Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla for the historic Axiom-4 space mission to the International Space Station. This rigorous NASA-led training includes spacecraft systems, survival drills, and research protocols for over 60 experiments during his 2-week stay. Shukla will fly aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, marking India’s second human spaceflight since Rakesh Sharma in 1984. The mission is a crucial step toward India’s Gaganyaan program and global space ambitions. (PC: X)
