IAF fighter pilot Shubhanshu Shukla 1st Indian astronaut for Axiom Space ISS mission
Thursday, 30 January 2025 Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla of the Indian Airforce has been named the pilot for Axiom Mission 4 to the ISS, planned for later this year. Shukla, selected for ISRO's Gaganyaan mission, will join a team led by Peggy Whitson on this private spaceflight aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla smiled and waved after completing an 18-day mission aboard the International Space Station. His safe splashdown off California marks India’s first-ever astronaut visit to the ISS, a proud milestone for the nation’s space exploration journey. Shukla, piloting the Dragon spacecraft alongside NASA’s Peggy Whitson, conducted over 60 microgravity experiments spanning agriculture, medicine, and water research. The mission, part of Axiom’s private astronaut program, highlights India’s growing role in the global space age.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Moscow continues scientific cooperation with Western experts despite heavy sanctions and political isolation. Speaking in Sarov, Russia’s nuclear hub, Putin insisted that science, like art and sports, cannot be destroyed by politics. He revealed that joint projects persist in nuclear, space, and medical research, even with some NATO states, while new ventures in nuclear medicine are emerging. According to Putin, Russia lost Finland as a partner but continues work with France, Germany, and Hungary through Rosatom. He stressed that Russia still supplies nuclear fuel and services to “unfriendly” countries, hinting that departing partners may eventually return. Putin also warned the West that restricting academic and scientific ties will inflict long-term damage. Despite sanctions, Russia and the U.S. recently extended collaboration on the International Space Station and discussed future lunar and deep-space missions.
