Show Quick ReadSummary is AI-generated, newsroom-reviewed New Delhi: Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is getting the incredible views of Mother Earth as he orbits the planet - seeing 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises. Mr Shukla and his Axiom-4 space mission colleagues are learning more about the safety at the International Space Station and shifting cargo, and essentially setting up their new but temporary home in space. One of the astronauts, Peggy Whitson, posted a picture of Earth on X, saying she has "missed the view". Mr Shukla is feeling well and continues his activities at the space station. For Group Captain Shukla, day two at ISS will begin with setting up experiments. His first day was spent setting up his new home by shifting cargo from the Grace capsule to the space station. Mr Shukla is still learning and integrating with the Space-11 at the ISS. According to Axiom Space, the Axiom crew continued adjusting to life in microgravity, and the crew focused on integration with the resident Expedition 73 crew. (X) Petty Whitson, one of the four astronauts who entered the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the Axiom-4 mission, shared a beautiful picture of mother earth on her social media platform, with a caption, 'I've missed the view". I've missed this view! #Ax4 — Peggy Whitson (@AstroPeggy) June 27, 2025 Several hours after the Axiom-4 crew entered the ISS and settled in, the seven 'Expedition 73" crew members helped Peggy Whitson, Shubhanshu Shukla, Slawosz Uznanski and Tibor Kapu otp familiarise themselves with orbital lab systems and prepare for their microgravity research. According to Axiom Space, the Axiom crew continued adjusting to life in microgravity, and the crew focused on integration with the resident Expedition 73 crew. Together, they completed training on handover protocols and emergency procedures, ensuring seamless coordination. The crew transferred high-priority cargo and emergency equipment between Dragon and the space station. On Friday, Peggy and the team quickly got to work unloading sample-packed hardware and portable science freezers from inside Dragon for installation in station incubators and research refrigerators ahead of upcoming experiments. Station safety hardware was also temporarily transferred inside Dragon as is customary for visiting spacecraft. Post docking, the Axiom-4 crew spent the rest of Thursday setting up their sleeping quarters, with Peggy located in the 'Airlock', Shukla in 'Dragon', Uznanski in 'Columbus', and Tibor in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM). The Ax-4 astronauts also began preparing for their research studies. They initiated setup for several experiments and began transferring samples to designated modules. For Group Captain Shukla, day two at ISS will begin with setting up experiments. His first day was spent setting up his new home by shifting cargo from the Grace capsule to the space station. Axiom-4 Mission The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission is the fourth private astronaut expedition to the International Space Station. It launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, propelled by a Falcon 9 rocket. The mission is led by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, now with Axiom Space, serving as commander. The international crew includes Slawosz Uznanski from Poland (European Space Agency) and Tibor Kapu from Hungary, both serving as mission specialists. Group Captain Shukla joins them as the mission's pilot — a role of high responsibility and precision.

How Shubhanshu Shukla Sees Earth From Space As He Adjusts To Zero Gravity
New Delhi: Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is getting the incredible views of Mother Earth as he orbits the planet - seeing 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises. Mr Shukla and his Axiom-4 space mission colleagues are learning more about the safety at the International Space Station and shifting cargo, and essentially setting up their new but temporary home in space. One of the astronauts, Peggy Whitson, posted a picture of Earth on X, saying she has "missed the view". I've missed this view! #Ax4 — Peggy Whitson (@AstroPeggy) June 27, 2025 Mr Shukla is feeling well and continues his activities at the space station. For Group Captain Shukla, day two at ISS will begin with setting up experiments. His first day was spent setting up his new home by shifting cargo from the Grace capsule to the space station. Mr Shukla is still learning and integrating with the Space-11 at the ISS. According to Axiom Space, the Axiom crew continued adjusting to life in microgravity, and the crew focused on integration with the resident Expedition 73 crew. Together, they completed training on handover protocols and emergency procedures, ensuring seamless coordination. The crew transferred high-priority cargo and emergency equipment between Dragon and the space station. This included payloads, essential supplies, and safety gear, all carefully logged and stowed for operations. Dziękuję za Wasze wsparcie. Czuję je cały czas 🇵🇱 Praca nad naszymi eksperymentami w mikrograwitacji rozpoczęta! Thank you for your support. I feel it every step of the way 🇵🇱 The work on our experiments in microgravity has begun! #IGNIS #Ax4 #astro_slawosz 📷 @AstroPeggy … — Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski (@astro_slawosz) June 27, 2025 The Ax-4 astronauts also began preparing for their research studies. They initiated setup for several experiments and began transferring samples to designated modules. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the crew will continue finalising the setup for research and technology demonstrations. According to NASA, on Friday, Ax-4 quickly got to work unloading sample-packed hardware and portable science freezers from inside Dragon for installation in station incubators and research refrigerators ahead of upcoming experiments. Station safety hardware was also temporarily transferred inside Dragon, as is customary for visiting spacecraft. The private astronaut quartet later joined the Expedition 73 crew for more safety reviews to learn their roles and responsibilities and communication protocols with mission controllers in the unlikely event of an emergency on the orbital outpost, the space agency said. Meanwhile, Expedition 73 kept up its daily research schedule with a space exercise study, eye exams, and lunar photography. Cargo transfers and life support maintenance rounded out the crew's day. There are eleven astronauts at the space station, hence the Space-11 are right now gelling up to become one weightless family.
