The Axiom 4 mission to space is set for launch on June 8th, with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla representing India. Shukla, only the second Indian to go to space after Rakesh Sharma, has entered quarantine along with astronauts from Poland and Hungary. This marks India’s first government-sponsored space flight in over 40 years and the first time an Indian astronaut will visit the International Space Station.
