India’s Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, aboard the commercial Axiom‑4 mission to the International Space Station, is now scheduled to launch on June 19, 2025, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, following repeated delays caused by a liquid‑oxygen leak and an ISS pressure anomaly. This marks India’s re‑entry into human spaceflight alongside Poland and Hungary, with a 14‑day mission focusing on scientific research under a joint ISRO–NASA–ESA initiative . ISRO emphasizes that all technical issues have been resolved and crew safety remains paramount before updating future launch details. (PC: X)
