The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has made an unprecedented contribution to the world in space exploration since its inception, and astronauts of Indian origin have also made a mark in this field. India has been made proud. In the current sequence, the successful completion of the Axiom-4 mission has once again made the country feel proud, when Shubhnshu Shukla returned as the first Indian astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS). This historic achievement adds a new chapter to India's space history, which began with Rakesh Sharma's historic space mission.

Shubhanshu Shukla spent 18 days in space. His mission was completed when the Dragon Grace capsule successfully entered Earth's orbit and eventually returned safely to Earth. There is an atmosphere of celebration across the country on his safe return, which symbolizes India's growing space prowess.

A bird's eye view of the Indian space journey

India has always inspired its talented scientists and engineers to solve the mysteries of space. From Rakesh Sharma to Shubhanshu Shukla, many Indian-origin scientists have worked in space science and technology.  Individuals have opened new doors for humanity by traveling to space.

1. Rakesh Sharma: First Indian Astronaut Rakesh Sharma's name is inscribed in golden letters in Indian space history. On April 3, 1984 He was the first Indian citizen to go to space on the Soviet Union's Soyuz T-11 mission. He spent 7 days, 21 hours and 40 minutes in space, during which he conducted scientific experiments and observed the Earth. His famous remark, "Saare Jahan se Achcha, Hindustan Hamara," When the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi asked him how India looked from space, it still excites every Indian. His mission became a source of inspiration for Indian youth.

2. Kalpana Chawla: A symbol of courage and dedication

Her life and her sacrifice have inspired millions of people, especially women, to learn about science and technology. Inspires to move forward in the field of engineering.

3. Sunita Williams: An example of endurance in space

Sunita Williams, an American astronaut of Indian origin, has talked about her long stay in space and  She has gained worldwide recognition for her extraordinary spacewalks. She has carried out multiple missions on the International Space Station (ISS) and is one of the longest-staying women in space. Her experiences and scientific experiments have contributed to the understanding of human life in space. has made significant contributions. His patience and hard work reflects his unwavering commitment towards space exploration.

4. Raja Chari: The face of future space exploration

Raja Chari, an Indian-American astronaut, is a prominent figure in NASA's space programs. He has also been selected for NASA's Artemis program, which aims to send humans to space. He is to be sent to the Moon once again. He has traveled to the ISS as the commander of the SpaceX Crew-3 mission, where he performed various scientific research and maintenance tasks. Raja Chari

Represents the next generation of astronauts, ready to take humans to the deepest corners of the solar system.

5. Shubhanshu Shukla: A new milestone

And now, Shubhanshu Shukla! His achievement as the first Indian astronaut to visit the International Space Station under the Axiom-4 mission is an important milestone for India. The mission also signifies the growing importance of private space travel and India's growing interest in space. This opens up new avenues of commercial space exploration for the Indian masses. Shubhnshu's safe return and his 18-day space stay have once again proved that Indian talent is second to none. His mission is to encourage young Indians to pursue a career in the field of space. It will inspire people to make a career in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

All these astronauts are not only a source of pride for India but they have also inspired youth across the world to pursue careers in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The Indian space program is constantly scaling new heights, and successful missions like Shubhanshu Shukla are proof that India is strengthening its position as a global space power. In the future, we will definitely see more Indian space missions. We will see talented people make their mark in the infinite depths of space.

The future of the Indian space programme is bright, and it is taking shape thanks to the efforts of these brave astronauts.
