India celebrates sending its first astronaut to space after 41 years

The Subblia Indians note the successful launch of the Axiom-4 (AX-4) mission, which flew from the multi-country, including the Indian astronaut.

Captain Group Shubhanshu ShuklaThe pilot of the mission became only the second Indian who goes into space.

In just over 26 hours – if the spacecraft will be at the International Space Station (ISS) – the Captain of the Shukla Group will become the first in the history of the Indian to visit the NASA orbital laboratory.

His trip comes 41 years after Cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to fly into space on board the Russian soybean in 1984.

Led by the former NASA Cosmonaut Pega Witson, the Space Veteran, who was the ISS commander twice, spent more than 675 days in space and made 10 space walks – Ax -4, removed from the Florida space center at 02:31 (06:31 GMT; 12:01 India).

The ISS trip on board AX -4 is a commercial flight run by Axiom Space’s private company, a cooperation between NASA, India’s Space Agency and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Its four team members also include Slavs Uda Visnevski from Poland and Tibor Cabbage from Hungary. They will also return their countries to space after more than four decades. Osmanovs spent weeks in quarantine before launching Wednesday.

The flight aroused great interest in India, if ISRO said that the captain of the shocked experience will receive a great deal during a trip to the ISS.

Last year, a 39-year-old man was one of the four Indian Air Force staff to travel the first space flight in the country planned for 2027. India also announced ambitious plans to create a space station by 2035 and send the astronaut to the month before 2040.

The ISRO, which conducted a series of tests to prepare for space visiting, paid Rs 5 billion ($ 59 million; £ 43 million) to provide a place for the Captain of the Crack Group on the AX-4 and his workout.

Running using the Dragon Capsule Spacex Crew capsule on the Falcon 9 rocket, broadcast live Axiom Space and NASA and sent celebrations to India.

In his hometown, Captain Shulava, his parents, joined hundreds of students to watch the rise. They were welcomed by the musical team after coming to school, and they were seen as a rocket rose.

He was born on October 10, 1985 in the northern city of Laknau, the Captain of the Shukla Group joined the Indian Air Force as a fighter pilot in 2006.

It flew by MGS, Sukhhua, Dornyer, Jaguars and Hox and has more than 2000 hours of flight.

Describing the past year as “nothing that is transformation”, recently the Captain of the Shukla Group told the Internet conference that he has no words to describe his excitement.

“It was still a strange journey, but the best is yet to come,” he said.

“When I go into space, I am not only tools and equipment, I have a hope and dreams of a billion hearts.

“I ask all Indians to pray for the success of our mission,” he added.

In addition to piloting the mission, the Indian astronaut will have a tense schedule for two weeks on the ISS.

Given great interest in flight, ISRO stated that they organize activities to interact with Indian students and answer their questions in space. Interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also on the cards.

But most of the four crew members will conduct 60 scientific experiments, seven of which come from India.

Former NASA Mitro Mitra scientist says that ISRO experiments will help improve our understanding of space and its impact on biology and micrograves.

One of the key experiments, she explains, will explore the influence of space flight on six grades of crop seeds.

Another ISRO experiment provides for the cultivation of three deformations of the algae that can be used as food, fuel or even in life support systems, and this will help determine the most suitable for growing in microgravity, she says.

ISRO’s projects will also explore how tordigrades – micro -animals on Earth that can survive extreme conditions – will be held in space.

Other experiments are aimed at determining how muscle loss is in space and how it can be treated; Both physical and cognitive effects of using computer screens in microgravity.
