Shukla updates ISRO chief on Ax-4 activities
The ISRO chief highlighted the significance of the crew's experiments and activities, stressing the importance of documenting them after Shukla's return to Earth. Narayanan said doing so would provide insights and inputs to further India's human spaceflight programme, Gaganyaan.
The discussion between Shukla and Narayanan was attended by top ISRO officials, including Dr Unnikrishnan Nair, Director of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and Chairman of the Program Management Council for Human Space Programme. He also highlighted the need to rest, given the scientific experiments and activities that are planned for the crew. Shukla is scheduled to stay two weeks on the ISS, and will be conduct seven home grown experiments and five scientific studies.

ICAR official advocates for creation of Directorate of Agri Engg, visits PAU
Ludhiana: In a significant academic and policy-focused interaction, the deputy director general (agricultural engineering), ICAR, andthe president of Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE), S N Jha, visited theCollege of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (COAET)atPunjab Agricultural University (PAU)to engage with faculty members on the strategic upliftment of agricultural engineering and the proposed creation of Directorate of Agricultural Engineering in Punjab. During the interaction, Jha emphasised the growing importance of agricultural engineering in transforming Indian agriculture throughmechanisation, energy efficiency, post-harvest management, and climate-smart technologies. He encouraged faculty to contribute to demand-driven research, skill-based training, and interdisciplinary innovation aligned with national priorities. A key highlight of the discussion was theproposal for the creation of a Directorate of Agricultural Engineering in Punjab, which is in line with the recent directive from the central govt to all states. Jhaupdated the faculty on the current status of this development in Punjab, stating thatthe process has been initiated at the state level as per the letter from the chief secretary, Govt of Punjab to the secretary, department of agriculture and farmers' welfare, ministry of agriculture and farmers' welfare, Government of India. Discussions are going on with relevant authorities to expedite the formation of theDirectorate, which would act as a central agency for planning, implementation, and coordination of agricultural engineering activities in the state, he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Anvisa aprova solução para ajudar a reduzir gordura visceral da barriga em 7 dias!

Shubhanshu Shukla, AX-4 crew complete two weeks in orbit, science going strong
As the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission marks two weeks aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the four-member crew — Commander Peggy Whitson, Pilot Shubhanshu 'Shux' Shukla, and mission specialists Slawosz 'Suave' Uznanski and Tibor Kapu — remain focused on scientific work, technology demonstrations and health monitoring studies. All four crew members have been in good health throughout their mission so far. After docking with the ISS on June 26, the crew spent the first evening unpacking and the next day familiarising themselves with station systems. Since then, their work has covered areas ranging from plant biology and cognitive science to space health and materials research. Shux, the Indian Air Force test pilot turned astronaut, has been closely involved in space biology experiments. In the last couple of days, he documented seed development in petri dishes and stored them in the Minus Eighty-Degree Laboratory Freezer. These seeds, once returned to Earth, will be grown over several generations to assess the influence of microgravity on their genetics, microbial environments and nutritional value. In another experiment, Shux worked on deploying and stowing microalgae — being studied for their potential to produce oxygen, food, and biofuels during long-duration missions. Their ability to adapt to the space environment makes them a key candidate for future life-support systems. He also photographed specimens for a parallel crop seeds study. Six seed types will undergo post-mission cultivation to isolate desirable genetic traits that could help build resilient, sustainable farming systems in space. On the health front, Shux and others supported the 'AstroMentalHealth' study, which investigates behavioural health and stress during missions. They also performed a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) session — an exercise method using electrical impulses to prevent muscle loss in weightlessness. The crew's work extended into neurology and human physiology. Through the 'Voyager Displays' study, they helped assess how spaceflight alters eye movement, gaze control and hand – eye coordination — factors critical to designing intuitive spacecraft interfaces for future astronauts. They also took part in the 'Acquired Equivalence Test', designed to understand how spaceflight impacts learning and pattern recognition in an altered spatial environment. Finally, Axiom said, radiation safety remained a priority. 'All four astronauts wore the 'Rad Nano Dosimeter', collecting real-time exposure data to evaluate shielding efficacy and long-term health risks of space travel,' the firm said. The Ax-4 mission is expected to wrap up soon now that the planned tenure is complete. However, there has been no formal date announced for the crew to depart from ISS and splashdown.

India's Shubhanshu Shukla turns space farmer, grows methi and moong seeds on ISS
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, who is in the final week of his stay at the International Space Station, tried his hand at space farming as part of a study. Shukla, who is on the space station as part of the Axiom-4 mission, will be returning to earth after July 10. (Axiom Space) Shukla turned farmer onboard the ISS, growing moong and methi seeds, PTI reported. He also took photographs of the seeds sprouting in petri dishes and while keeping them in a storage freezer. The activity is part of a study into the influence of microgravity on germination and early plant development. These seeds will be cultivated over multiple generations after their return to eath, with researchers looking into changes in their genetics, microbial ecosystems and nutritional profiles, Axiom space said in a statement. Shukla, who is on the space station as part of the Axiom-4 mission, will be returning to earth after July 10. NASA is expected to announce the date for the undocking of the space mission soon, depending on the weather conditions off the Florida coast. The experiment for the germination of sprouts is part of a study headed by scientists Ravikumar Hosamani and and Sudheer Siddapureddy, according to PTI. While Hosamani is an assistant professor at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Siddapureddy is from the Indian Institute of Technology, Dharwad. Six varieties will be grown over generations under the crop seeds experiment in order to identify any desirable traits for genetic analysis in regards to sustainable space farming. Shukla on his research tasks onboard the space station Speaking about his research tasks on the ISS, Shukla said they had been 'fantastic'. "Right from doing stem cell research and looking at the effect of microgravity on seeds, evaluating the cognitive load on astronauts while they are interacting with screens onboard the station," PTI quoted him as saying. He added that he felt 'proud' to be acting as a 'bridge' between the researchers and the space station, and conduct these experiments on their behalf. He further said that he was 'really excited' about the study on stem cells. Under this, scientists are trying to determine whether the growth, recovery and repair process can be accelerated in stem cells by adding supplements. 'It has been great to work in the Glove Box doing this research for them. I am really excited to be doing this,' Shukla said. With PTI inputs
