Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday interacted with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who is aboard the International Space Station as part of the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission, via video conferencing.
Shukla, accompanied by three other astronauts, launched to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s Dragon capsule from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre on June 25 as part of the Axiom-4 mission.
He made history on Thursday by becoming the first Indian astronaut to reach the ISS, as the Axiom-4 mission successfully docked with the orbiting lab 28 hours after launch.
