In a landmark move 25 years after the US imposed sanctions on India over nuclear tests, NASA will welcome Indian astronauts Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and Group Captain Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair for the Axiom-4 mission. This mission will see them join astronauts from the US, Hungary, and Poland on a SpaceX Falcon-9 and Crew Dragon to the ISS. The sanctions, which restricted advanced technology transfers to ISRO, have given way to a robust partnership. This collaboration reflects a significant shift in Indo-US relations and a renewed commitment to global space exploration.
