Shubhanshu Shukla had a full dress rehearsal on 8 June before going to ISS.
A new date for the launch of Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s Space Mission Axiom-4 has come to light. Now this mission will leave for space on June 25 at 12.01 pm Indian time. Its docking will be held on June 26 at 4:30 pm. This was confirmed by NASA on Tuesday.
After launching on Falcon 9 rocket, the crew will be sent to the International Space Station from a new SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft. Four Astronauts from four countries in the Axium Mission 4 (AX-4) are going to visit the space station for 14 days.
Shubhanshu will be the first Indian to go to ISS and in space. Earlier, Rakesh Sharma traveled space in 1984 with a spacecraft of the Soviet Union.
The Ex-4 mission is headed by Commander Paigi Whitson, with Shukla Mission Pilot. Hungary’s Tibor Kapu and Slavose Uznanski-Visnivsky Mission experts are Mission experts.
Mission averted 6 times in a month
On 29 May, 8 June, June 10, June 11, June 12 and 22, there was a launching schedule, but it was postponed indefinitely for reviewing the recent repair work in the rear of the ISS Zvezda service module and indefinitely for a security check.

Research will be done on insulin and blood-scorpion for the first time in space
The Axiom-4 mission has brought a ray of hope for patients with diabetes to travel to space. This is because UAE’s health service provider is doing a research on the behavior of glucose in Burjil Holdings Micrology. The rest of the people, including Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, will wear glucose monitors 14 days in the orbital lab as a part of the suit ride experiment under the Axiaom-4 mission.
Mohammad Fitayan, CMO of Abu Dhabi’s Burjil Holdings, told PTI that they are just trying to see if there is any change or fluctuation in the level of blood sugar while in space.
The study of the behavior of glucose and insulin in microgravity will help scientists to create wearable techniques for astronauts and patients who are able to do less movement due to diseases like bed or paralysis.
Apart from this, astronaut insulin pens will also be taken along, which will be kept in different temperatures, so that it can be seen what effect the insulin molecules are affected in microgravity.
No sugar patient has gone on space trip yet
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) does not allow patients with insulin to go into space. Although there is no official prohibition for patients with not taking insulin, no sugar patient Astronaut has traveled to space yet.
Apart from this, 60 experiments are to be done during the Ex-IM Mission-4, in which 7 Indian scientists have developed. This includes research projects such as germination of sprouts in microgravity, research on crop seeds, microgravity on algi and effect of radiation.
