NASA's Axiom-4 mission finally has a new launch date: June 22 at 1:12pm IST from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
After some delays thanks to tech hiccups and bad weather, things are back on track.
ISRO's Shubhanshu Shukla will be piloting the mission, which is packed with 60 science experiments—seven of them led by Shukla himself.
Crew in quarantine getting ready for takeoff
The crew is led by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, joined by Sawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski and Tibor Kapu.
NASA shifted the schedule to line up with International Space Station plans.
Technical glitches like an electrical issue and an oxygen leak have been sorted out, so now the team is in quarantine getting ready for takeoff.
