Indian astronaut Shubanshu Shukla, along with three other crew members of NASA’s Axiom-4 mission, is gearing up to return to Earth after spending nearly two weeks aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA has confirmed that the crew is scheduled to undock from the ISS and begin their journey back on July 14.

During their time aboard the ISS, the four astronauts — Shubanshu Shukla, Peggy Whitson, Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski, and Tibor Kapu — have completed approximately 230 orbits of Earth. They witnessed an equal number of sunrises and travelled nearly 10 million kilometres while conducting their mission.

Axiom Space noted that the crew, from their vantage point about 250 miles above Earth, took time to capture photos and videos of the planet and stayed connected with their families, enjoying brief moments of rest amid their demanding schedule.
