NASA has announced its 2025 astronaut candidate class, marking a new era for Moon and Mars missions. Ten individuals begin rigorous training for future space exploration.
The capture follows the launch of NASA’s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 23 mission. It lifted off on 14 September at 6:11 p.m.
NASA and Northrop Grumman are reassessing Cygnus XL’s engine burns after premature shutdowns delayed its planned arrival at the International Space Station.
Recently, astronauts arrived at the station during a high beta period. The beta angle exceeded sixty degrees. During such phases, docking and undocking are avoided.
An astronaut’s photo reveals a giant chessboard-like forest in Idaho. Snow and a 200-year-old grid-based management system create the striking pattern, highlighting human impact and nature’s surprising designs from space.
Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared a timelapse of India from space, showing thunderstorms, the Himalayas and sunrise from orbit, while calling the Axiom-4 mission a historic achievement for the nation.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla landed in Delhi in the early hours of Sunday after returning to Earth on July 15 post the completion of NASA's Axiom-4 (AX-4) space mission.
The image showed a gigantic jet, one of the rarest forms of transient luminous events. These powerful electrical discharges rise from storm clouds up to the upper atmosphere.
Shubhanshu Shukla is the second Indian to travel to space and the first to visit the ISS. He spent 19 days there, conducting scientific experiments crucial to India’s Gaganyaan mission.

Commander Takuya Onishi of JAXA and NASA’s Nichole Ayers recently took part in a unique experiment aboard the International Space Station, carefully collecting blood samples from their crewmates.
Shubhanshu Shukla, the pilot of the mission, completed an 18-day stay aboard the International Space Station.
In an Instagram video, Shukla pointed out how his body is adapting to the transition from space back to Earth. He mentioned that even tasks as simple as walking in a straight line or balancing become challenging on a temporary basis after coming back from microgravity.
In the short clip, Shukla sits cross-legged and floats gently, trying to stay still. His arms hover, and his body drifts slightly with every movement.
The Crew-11 will research plant biology, human health, and space medicine. They will also test how microgravity affects viruses that target bacteria.
The Axiom-4 crew, including Shukla, spent almost 20 days in space, with approximately 19 days aboard the ISS. Their stay involved several scientific and collaborative activities aimed at furthering microgravity research and international cooperation in space.
During his 18-day stay aboard the ISS, Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla conducted seven key scientific experiments developed by Indian institutes as part of the Axiom-4 mission’s research objectives.
Group Captain Shukla, a test pilot from the Indian Air Force, spent nearly 20 days in space and 19 days aboard the ISS. The Ax-4 crew also included Commander Peggy Whitson, Poland’s ESA astronaut Slawosz “Suave” Uznanski-Wisniewski, and Hungary’s Tibor Kapu from the HUNOR programme.
The Ax-4 crew — Commander Peggy Whitson, Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), ESA project astronaut Slawosz “Suave” Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland, and Hungary’s HUNOR astronaut Tibor Kapu — spent 18 days aboard the International Space Station, carrying out scientific research and engaging in outreach efforts as part of their mission.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla is set to return to Earth today after spending nearly 20 days in space, including 19 aboard the International Space Station (ISS), as part of the Axiom Mission 4.
The Axiom-4 mission includes astronauts from four nations. Alongside Shukla, the team features Commander Peggy Whitson from the United States, Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland, and Tibor Kapu from Hungary.

After spending nearly 18 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) team have undocked from the ISS and begun their 22-hour journey to Earth
The Ax-4 team includes Commander Peggy Whitson, ESA astronaut Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski, and Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu. During their 18-day stay, the team performed scientific research and outreach activities aboard the orbiting lab.
After spending 18 eventful days aboard the International Space Station, Shubhanshu Shukla and the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew are preparing for their journey home.
