Indian Air Force Group Captain Shubhanshu “Shux” Shukla described Earth from space as a “blue marble,” noting that the ISS’s orbital track often kept him over oceans for the entire 45‑minute daylight period . Returning on July 15, 2025, after 18 days aboard the ISS, he conducted more than 60 experiments—seven of which were ISRO‑designed, spanning human physiology, AI health diagnostics, micro‑algae life‑support and more . His observations, data, and images will feed into India’s forthcoming Gaganyaan mission and help establish a national orbital research repository.
