Indian Air Force Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian to travel to the International Space Station (ISS), said his experience will aid India’s Gaganyaan mission. He flew aboard SpaceX’s Axiom-4 mission, launching on June 25 and returning on July 15. Speaking at a press meet with ISRO Chairman V Narayanan, Shukla said, “The benefit of executing a human space mission is more than the training. The knowledge I have collected will be extremely useful for Gaganyaan and future Indian space missions.” He thanked the government, ISRO, and researchers for supporting the mission.
