Indian astronaut Shubhanshu “Shux” Shukla is excelling aboard the International Space Station during the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4). He’s leading India’s experiments on muscle atrophy, microalgae cultivation, and wireless acoustics. Shukla redeployed a culture bag for the Space Micro Algae project and collected samples for the myogenesis study, aiding future Mars missions. He also contributed to cardiovascular scans and acoustic monitoring. Shukla’s role supports real-time AI-driven health tracking and long-term sustainability in space. Axiom released new images of Shukla smiling in zero gravity. “He’s loving it up there,” said ISRO sources after his call with ISRO Chief S Somanath. (PC: X)
