Synopsis
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying the Axiom-4 crew, including ISRO's astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, is set to splash down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego at 3 PM IST on Tuesday. Shukla has completed all planned microgravity experiments during the 18-day mission aboard the ISS.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying the Axiom-4 mission crew, including ISRO’s Gaganyatri Shubhanshu Shukla, is scheduled to reenter Earth’s atmosphere and splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego around 3 PM IST on Tuesday, the company confirmed. The capsule is expected to produce a brief sonic boom before landing in the waters.
Shukla has completed all seven microgravity experiments and other planned scientific activities aboard the International Space Station (ISS), ISRO said on Monday, marking a key milestone for India’s space research initiatives.
The experiments covered areas including Myogenesis, the Indian strain of Tardigrades, sprouting of methi and moong seeds, Cyanobacteria, Microalgae, Crop seeds, and the Voyager Display, and were executed as scheduled, the agency said.
On July 13, the Axiom-4 crew, including Shukla, bid farewell to Expedition 73 astronauts aboard the ISS ahead of their return journey. A formal farewell ceremony was held on the space station.
