The European Space Agency (ESA) has indicated that the Axiom‑4 mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS)—with Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu "Shux" Shukla among its four-member crew—is unlikely to return to Earth before July 14, 2025 . The mission, comprising Peggy Whitson (USA), Sławosz Uznański‑Wiśniewski (Poland), Kapu (Hungary), and Shukla (India), launched on June 25 and docked on June 26 . ESA’s advisory emphasizes that undocking remains tentative and weather‑dependent; the crew’s originally planned 14‑day stay has now been extended beyond July 10, with a return window opening no earlier than July 14.
