Group Captain Shukla had described the launch as 'magical' and reflected on his journey. 'I am thrilled to be here with my fellow astronauts - what a ride it was. Honestly, as I sat in the capsule 'Grace' on the launchpad yesterday after 30 days of quarantine, all I could think was: just go. When the launch finally happened, it was something else entirely. You're pushed back into the seat--and then suddenly, there's silence. You're just floating in the vacuum, and it's magical,' he said. He expressed gratitude to the mission team, calling the experience a 'collective achievement'. 'I truly appreciate the efforts of every individual who made this journey possible. It's not just a personal accomplishment - it belongs to all of us,' he added.

The Ax-4 crew was welcomed by the seven-member Expedition 73 team at the ISS and took part in a safety briefing.

After receiving his official astronaut pin from Ax-4 Mission Commander Peggy Whitson, Shukla said, 'I am no 634, that's a privilege.' 'To be fair, it is a privilege to be amongst the few who have got the chance to see the Earth from a vantage point that I have been able to see now. It has been a wonderful ride. I was looking forward to coming to space--it is something to look forward. But the moment I entered the ISS, I felt welcomed. You (Expedition 73 crew) guys literally opened up your doors like your house doors for us, that was fantastic. The expectations I had were surpassed, so thank you so much; this was fantastic. I am confident the next 14 days are going to be amazing doing science and research,' said Shukla in his 'arrival remarks' after entering the ISS. 'I have a small message for my countrymen: It is because of your love and blessings that I have safely reached the International Space Station. It may look easy to stand here, but it is not; my head is aching. However, we will get used to it. We will be here for 14 days, conducting scientific experiments and speaking with you. This is a milestone for India. Let's make this journey exciting and let everyone participate with interest,' Group Captain Shukla said. 'The Tricolour I bear on my shoulder makes me feel as though the entire country is with me. I believe the next 14 days are going to be truly interesting,' he added.

Nostalgia hits hard: 41 years after Rakesh Sharma's 'saare jahan se acha', Shubhanshu Shukla calls India 'majestic' from space
NEW DELHI: India witnessed a deja vu moment on Saturday after Axiom-4 pilot Shubhanshu Shukla interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi from International Space Station and claimed that "India looks truly majestic from the space" 41 years ago, astronaut Rakesh Sharma , first Indian to go into space, had said "saare jahan se acha Hindustan humara" when former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had asked him how India looks from space. Sharma was part of the Soviet Union's Soyuz T-11 expedition, which was launched on April 2, 1984. The video relives a conversation between the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Sharma. The astronaut spoke to Indira Gandhi from space during a joint television news conference, which also included officials in Moscow. Conversation between Indira Gandhi and Rakesh Sharma Shukla went a step further and proclaimed the message of "oneness" and " Unity in Diversity." "The thing that really stood out was when I saw India for the first time from space. India looks truly majestic and much larger than what we perceive on maps. The feeling of oneness that the Earth gives, the very essence of our motto 'Unity in Diversity', becomes deeply meaningful when seen from above," Shukla said while interacting with PM Modi. "One realize that borders don't really exist, states don't exist, countries don't exist in that view. Ultimately, we are all part of humanity, and Earth is our one shared home. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo We are all its citizens," he added.

I am feeling very good, this is a new journey is not only mine but the journey of the whole nation," Shukla said. "Under your leadership, today's India offers numerous opportunities to fulfil their dreams...I am feeling very proud to represent India here," he added. The Dragon capsule carrying the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) crew, including Group Captain Shukla, successfully docked with the International Space Station on Thursday, marking a historic milestone as the first Indian to reach the orbiting laboratory. Shukla is the first Indian to cross the 'Karman line' in more than 41 years, following Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma's historic mission aboard the Soviet Soyuz T-11 The spacecraft completed soft docking at 16: 02 IST, with full docking achieved by 16:16 IST. Launched a day earlier from Nasa's Kennedy Space Center, the capsule followed a standard 28-hour Dragon mission profile, executing a series of precise orbit-raising manoeuvres as it chased down the ISS, a routine flight for the capsule, but a landmark moment for Shukla and Indian spaceflight history.
