India’s Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and the Ax-4 crew are set to return to Earth after a 22-hour journey from the International Space Station. Their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked on July 14 and will land in the Pacific Ocean near California, United States, on July 15. The mission, a key step for India’s Gaganyaan ambitions, involved 18 days in space conducting 60 experiments on health, agriculture, and microgravity. Shukla’s work on muscle loss and algae farming gained attention. The crew brings back 260 kg of cargo, including NASA equipment and research data critical for future space exploration. (PC: X)
