Shukla, a Group Captain in the Indian Air Force, became the first Indian to stay the longest in space, completing 20 days in orbit. He was part of the private Axiom-4 mission with astronauts from Poland and Hungary. The team conducted over 60 experiments in space. His wife said she is preparing his favourite meals and is proud of his journey. Shukla may join India’s Gaganyaan mission in 2027. (PC: @ISROSpaceflight/X)
