Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, successfully took astronauts Shubhanshu Shukla from India, Sawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland, and Tibor Kapu from Hungary to the International Space Station. This mission carries significance as it is the first for these countries in decades. Shukla's launch is particularly notable as he becomes the first Indian in space since 1984. The mission solidifies partnerships in space exploration and serves as a precursor to India's upcoming crewed mission under the Gaganyaan program set for 2027.
The Axiom Mission 4 marked a historic moment as it sent astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary to the International Space Station for the first time in decades.
The flight is considered a vital step for India's own crewed mission scheduled for 2027 under the Gaganyaan program, showcasing the country's ambition in space exploration.
