"Proud moment for India": CM Yogi congratulates Ax-4 Mission Pilot Group Captain Shubanshu Shukla
New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday congratulated Axiom-4 Mission Pilot Group Captain Shubanshu Shukla on his achievement. In a post on X, CM Yogi also applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his visionary leadership, which helped India participate in the international space mission and showcase an unwavering commitment to scientific advancement and global collaboration. 'A proud moment for India. Heartiest congratulations to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the Mission Pilot of Axiom Mission 4, on this historic achievement. Under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, India's participation in this international space mission showcases our unwavering commitment to scientific advancement and global collaboration. Warm wishes for a successful mission ahead,' CM Yogi said on X. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, carrying four Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew members, including Mission Pilot Group Captain Shubanshu Shukla, launched from Kennedy Space Centre at noon on Wednesday, Indian Standard Time (IST). It is orbiting Earth and on its way to the International Space Station. Dragon is also carrying Ax-4 Commander Peggy Whitson, and Mission Specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski and Tibor Kapu and will dock to the Harmony module's space-facing port at 4:30 pm IST today. NASA Flight Engineers Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers will be on duty at the beginning of their shift, monitoring Dragon during its automated approach and rendezvous manoeuvres. After docking, the Ax-4 astronauts will greet the seven Expedition 73 crewmates, call down to Earth for welcoming remarks, then participate in a safety briefing with the station residents. Meanwhile, McClain and Ayers, along with the rest of the station crew, worked a normal shift on Wednesday, keeping up with microgravity research and lab maintenance. For Group Captain Shukla, this will be an opportunity to emulate fellow Indian Air Force Officer Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, who flew aboard Soyuz T-11 on 3 April 1984 as part of the Soviet Interkosmos programme. Sharma spent seven days in space on board the Salyut 7 space station. In his remarks from onboard the Dragon spacecraft, Shukla said, 'Namaskar, my dear countrymen, what a ride. We are back in the space once again after 41 years. It's an amazing ride. We are revolving around the Earth at a speed of 7.5 kilometres per second. The Tiranga embossed on my shoulders tells me I am with you all. This journey of mine is not a beginning to the International Space Station (ISS) but to India's Human Space Programme. I want all of you to be part of this journey. Your chest, too, should swell with pride. You all also show excitement. Together, let's initiate India's Human Space Programme. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!'
