Shubhanshu Shukla's historic interaction from ISS
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla just made history as the first Indian on the International Space Station in nearly 40 years.
He launched with SpaceX from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on June 25, joining a crew of 11 for a two-week stay—thanks to ISRO's big investment.
TL;DR
Shukla's work on the ISS
Shukla is running seven ISRO experiments, looking at things like microalgae growth, muscle function, and how tiny creatures survive in space.
These studies help scientists figure out how humans might handle longer missions away from Earth.
How to spot the ISS flying over India
Shukla will chat live with Indian students from space to inspire the next generation.
You can even spot the ISS flying over India—just check NASA's Spot the Station tool for times to catch this milestone moment in the night sky.
