Kamaal ki ride: Shubhanshu Shukla's 1st words from space
On June 25, 2025, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla made history as the second Indian in space, joining SpaceX's Axiom-4 mission.
After a 41-year gap since Rakesh Sharma, India is back among the stars—and you can actually spot the International Space Station (ISS) with Shukla on board from Earth.
How to track the ISS
The ISS looks like a bright, fast-moving dot crossing the sky at dawn or dusk.
To find out when and where to look up, just use NASA's "Spot the Station" tool for real-time viewing info.
Shukla's mission will help India build its own space station
Shukla's trip isn't just about personal achievement—it's a big step for India's space dreams.
His two weeks on the ISS will help ISRO prep for future missions like Gaganyaan and move closer to building an Indian space station by 2035.
