Axiom 4 Mission: Shubhanshu Shukla Completes One Week Aboard ISS, Speaks With Family During Off-Duty Day | India News
Pilot Shubhanshu “Shux” Shukla, part of the International Axiom Mission 4 crew, was completed at the International Space Station for a week on Wednesday for a week, talking to the family of the day and preparing to continue the packaged research program the next day, Axiom Space said on his official blog.
Axiom Mission 4 (AX-4) crew, commander Peggy Whitson, pilot Shubhanshu “Shux” Shukla and Mission Experts Slawosz “Uznanski-Wisniewski and Tibor Kapu now had a full week at an international field station by a blog.
Until the end of Wednesday, since its placement on June 26, astronauts will have completed about 113 orbit around the world and will be over 2.9 million miles. To make this into perspective, this is about 12 times the distance between the world and the moon, the blog reads more.
On Wednesday, the crew had a well -won day and gave them the chance to charge and connect with your family and friends around the world. On Thursday, they will return to a scientific research and technology demonstrations program that will continue during the weekend.
Within seven days, AX-4 astronauts have already made significant contributions to scientific research. The Axiom blog has participated in cancer research using microgravity to examine how tumor cells behave in space and to develop new therapeutic targets for metastatic cancers.
“Shux” is conducting experiments that investigate the growth of algae of micro gravity and genetic behavior and how hard microscopic creatures survive and multiply in space. Findings can reveal new perspectives on the molecular mechanisms of cellular flexibility that can be clinically relevant in the world.
Suave tests a wearable acoustic monitoring device designed to improve how sound levels are monitored at the space station. This technology can increase the health of astronaut and inform the design of the future spacecraft. Meanwhile, Tibor follows the radiation levels using a dosimeter developed by Hungarian, while at the same time leading a project to raise a microgram in orbit, which is a step towards sustainable food production in space.
This task is history for its international importance. He points out that for the first time from India, Poland and Hungary, astronauts have a task at the space station and that these nations represented their return to human space flight after more than forty years. The AX-4 crew conducts more than 60 experiments during two weeks of accommodation and emphasizes the increasing role of commercial and international partnerships in space research.
The AX-4 mission, which witnesses more than a hundred sunrise and sunset orbit, advances science progress in space and inspires a new generation of explorers. After resting one day, the crew will be ready to continue the agenda of research and social assistance.
The Axiom Mission 4 was released on June 25 at the Launch Complex 39a in the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in NASA at the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket at noon. The Dragon spacecraft was successfully connected to the port of the station’s harmony module, which was successfully with IST at 16:05 on June 26th.
