Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, India’s first astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS), recently shared a viral video showing him calmly floating in microgravity, offering insights into the delicate physics of stillness in orbit. Shukla completed an 18-day mission as part of Axiom Mission 4 and returned safely to Earth on July 15 via a SpaceX Dragon capsule. His mission involved over 60 global scientific experiments, marking India’s return to human spaceflight after 40 years. The milestone strengthens India’s global space collaboration and paves the way for ISRO’s upcoming Gaganyaan mission planned for 2027.
