Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is scheduled to return to Earth on July 14 after spending over two weeks aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the Axiom-4 mission. The mission, which launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Centre on June 25, docked at the ISS after a 28-hour journey. Alongside Shukla, the Ax-4 crew includes Peggy Whitson, Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski, and Tibor Kapu. During their stay, the team completed scientific experiments, tested technologies, and conducted outreach. NASA confirmed July 14 as the target undocking date. The crew also enjoyed rare downtime, capturing images of Earth and reconnecting with family. (PC: HT)
