How micro gravity affects the early growth of plants. It has been experimented to check. A statement by the Axiom Space said that these seeds will be grown for several generations after returning to Earth, so that their genetics, DNA and nutritional profiles can be examined.
Group Captain Shubhanshu of the Indian Air Force has reached the International Space Station on 26 June. He is an Indian going to space after 41 years. They left for ISS with all Astronauts at around 12 noon on June 25 under the Exium Mission-4. Today i.e. on July 10, I had to come back to Earth. However, the date has been averted.

Shubhanshu said- This mission will open the way for micro gravity
Dr. Lucy Love, the chief scientist of Axiom Space, spoke to the crew on the mission on Wednesday. During this, Shubhanshu told about his scientific experiments. These include the study of stem cells, development of seeds in micro gravity, brain effects in space, etc.
He said- I am very excited about the use of stem cells. This will reveal whether the recovery of the injury increases by taking supplements or not. This mission will open new avenues for the study of micro gravity. This will also open a new path for Indian scientists. I am proud that ISRO is working closely with institutions around the world.

We will decorate the house in the joy of his arrival: Mother Asha Shukla
Astronaut Shubhanshu’s mother Asha Shukla said- It is very happy that the child is coming and we will meet him. The same prays to God that the child returned to the safe mission in the same way. If there is a conversation, they ask about his routine. When we have a conversation, what does the earth look from there, what does the sunrise look like, it shows all this. It was a pleasure to touch the heights on the way for him, now I am happy to meet him. When our son comes, we will decorate the house, spread arms and welcome him.

After 41 years, an Indian astronaut went to space
Indian Air Force Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla has been selected for this mission as part of an agreement between US space agency NASA and Indian agency ISRO. Shubhanshu is the first Indian to visit the International Space Station and the second Indian to visit the space. 41 years before this, Rakesh Sharma traveled space in 1984 with a spacecraft of the Soviet Union.
This experience of Shubhanshu will be useful in the Gaganyaan Mission of India. This is India’s first human space mission, which aims to send Indian sky passengers to the lower orbit of the Earth. It is likely to be launched in 2027. In India, Astronaut is called Gaganayatri. Similarly, Cosmonott in Russia and Taikonott in China are called.
What is International Space Station?
The International Space Station is a large spacecraft moving around the Earth. In this, astronauts live and experiment in micro gravity. It travels at a speed of 28,000 kmph. It completes the circumambulation of the Earth every 90 minutes. 5 space agencies have made it together. The first piece of the station was launched in November 1998.
