Below The Quote on Group Capt Shubhanu Shukla`s Axiom 4 mission successfully completed all seven microgravity experiments byMr Anil prakash DG SIA -India on Axiom 4 return

“Group Captain?Shubhanshu?Shukla’s 18-day mission aboard the ISS isn’t just a milestone—it heralds India’s leap into the space-biotech frontier. As India’s first astronaut on the ISS and only the second in space since 1984, he spearheaded seven ISRO-backed microgravity experiments—cultivating methi, moong, microalgae, cyanobacteria, tardigrades and human muscle cells—laying the first steps toward orbit-based, self-sustaining life-support systems. This mission, made possible through strategic private-sector engagement—via Axiom Space, SpaceX, Skyroot Aerospace and India’s space-tech startups—showcases a powerful public–private partnership, transforming space research into sustainable biotech innovation. SIA?India applauds this collaborative breakthrough in propelling India from space exploration to global space-driven biotech leadership.”
