Shubhanshu told through the post that, before going into space, he was a quarter of 2 months. They had to keep a distance of 8 meters from the family. My younger son was told that he could have germs in his hands, so he cannot touch Papa. Every time he asked his mother innocence, ‘Can I now wash my hands and touch my father?
Actually, the astronaut is qualified before going to the space station so that no germs do not reach the ISS. On 25 June under the Exium Mission 4, four Astronauts left for the International Space Station, including Shubhanshu Shukla.
On June 26, ISS arrived at 4:01 pm Indian time. Returned to Earth on 15 July after staying 18 days. Landing took place on the banks of California.
