Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu “Shux” Shukla is preparing to return from the International Space Station as SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, Grace, is set to undock on July 14 at 4:35 pm IST. Shukla, pilot of Axiom’s Ax-4 mission, spent nearly two weeks aboard ISS conducting vital experiments on microalgae, cognitive function, fluid dynamics, and plant growth. Commander Peggy Whitson led the four-member crew through packed final days in orbit. The mission marks a major milestone for Indian space exploration, inspiring millions. Scientific cargo and samples will return with the astronauts during the splashdown later this week. (PC: India Today)
