ISRO cements its global space leadership as it takes center stage in the upcoming Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) to the International Space Station, launching in May 2025. Featuring 60 scientific experiments from 31 nations, ISRO contributes seven key studies, including space farming, microalgae nutrition, muscle regeneration, and tardigrade resilience. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla will become the first Indian to reach the ISS, marking a historic moment since Rakesh Sharma’s 1984 flight. The mission deepens India's role in international space collaboration and prepares the groundwork for ISRO’s Gaganyaan human spaceflight program. Shukla's experience will be vital for future indigenous missions. (PC: axiomspace.com)
