Shubhanshu Shukla, Indian Gaganyatri, currently on board the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Axiom-4, acknowledged the efforts of the ISRo team to ensure its safe travel to the ISS.
According to the PTI Shukl report, he called the chairman of ISRA in Narayanan 6 July, the space agency said. During the call, Narayanan expressed his keen interest in Shuklain’s well -being and asked about various scientific experiments and activities performed on the ISS.
Narayanan, also Secretary of the Ministry of the Universe, emphasized the importance of documentation of all experiments and activities carefully after the return of Shukla on the ground, because it will provide valuable knowledge and inputs for the development of the Indian program of the human cosmic flight, Gaganyaan.
Indian Ganganyaan program
The aim of the Gaganyaan program is to prove the ability of India to launch a spacecraft crew into the low orbit of the country and the experience and knowledge gained from this mission will be essential for its success.
The Shukla’s ISS mission was made on the basis of an agreement on the space years isro-exiom. The astronaut also shared updates about the course of experiments and activities carried out at the space station, emphasized scientific goals and solved challenges.
Shubhanshu shukla studies bone health, exposure to radiation on ISS
After the day off, astronaut Shubhanshu Shukl and another Axiom-4 mission studied on Saturday how bones react to the conditions of microgravity, which could lead to better treatment of osteoporosis on Earth.
On the 10th flight day, Shukla also took part in the experiment to follow the radiation exhibition on the ISS, which could better protect astronauts on longer space missions outside the country, the PTI report said.
Lucknow-defined shukla (39) is part of the 14-day ISS mission. Shukla, who has a call sign “Shux”, is a mission pilot, while the veteran American astronaut Peggy Whitson is commander of the mission.
“Shux has deployed samples for examining micro algae. These small organisms can one day help keep life in space, provide food, fuel and even breathable air. But first, we need to understand how they grow and adapt to microgravity,” Space Axiom said.
The crew took part in Bone at the ISS experiment and provided insight into how bones were getting worse in space and how they recover as soon as they return to Earth.
By analyzing biological markers related to bone formation, inflammation and growth, scientists build digital twins – a virtual model that can simulate how astronaut bones react to space flights and recovery, Axiom Space said.
