After spending 18 days at the International Space Station (ISS), during which he moved around the Earth 288 times, Indian astronaut Shubanshu Shukla and his colleagues on the Axiom-4 mission Started his 22 -hour return journey on earth On Monday afternoon.
His spacecraft, named ‘Grace’, is uncontrolled from the ISS of India at 4.45 pm on Monday, is determined to create a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, away from the coast of California in the United States, around 3 pm on Tuesday. From the sea, the space capsules will be picked up on a boat designed specially for this purpose by a crane. Astics will then come out and come to the shore.
This will bring the end of the Axiom-4 mission, which marked the return of three countries-India, Poland and Hungary for the human spacecraft after a gap of over four decades.
After starting the return journey of the spacecraft, Science Minister Jitendra Singh said, “Shubhinhu is welcome! The whole nation waits to come back to your house … As you start your return journey,” Science Minister Jitendra Singh said that the spacecraft started the return journey.
After spending 433 hours in the ISS, astronauts moved around India’s time around 2 pm in their docked spacecraft. It took two hours to prepare for the return journey. The automatic unwarded process starting at around 4:45 pm included a separate spacecraft that connected it to the command, telemetry, and the power of the ISS. The spacecraft then released 12 hard capture hooks in two phases, which took about four minutes in total. After that, the engine moved away from the ISS using a series of burn.

His journey on Earth involves four emphasis by on-board engines-burning a departure, a phased burning to reduce the orbit, another to bring it to the necessary position to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, and then a D-Orbit Burn pushed the spacecraft into the Earth. After re -entering the Earth’s atmosphere, the space capsule will be slowed using parachutes to enable a controlled splashdown on the site specified in the Pacific Ocean.
After Splashdown, Shukla and his crew companions will be removed from the spacecraft using the SpaceX recovery vehicle. On this recovery vehicle, they will undergo their first series of medical examination. Astronauts will again be flown to a helicopter to land, and then in Houston, Texas.

During the board on ISS, Shukla successfully completed all seven microgravity experiments sent by India. The Indian Space Research Organization said in a statement, “Tardigrade’s Indian stress, myogenesis, fenugreek and moong seed sprouts, cyanobacteria, microlega, crop seeds and uses have been planned as planned.”
The AXIOM-4 mission not only took one of the largest number of scientific experiments-60 experiments representing countries-but also represented the return of astronauts from three countries, India, Hungary and Poland, back into space after four decades. This is why the mission was “realizing the return”.

At the ISS farewell ceremony on Sunday, Shukla said: “41 years ago, an Indian came into space and told us what India looks like above.
