This time, we are ready to lead, not just fly,” said Shukla during a post mission media briefing along with three other Axiom-4 mission crewmates.“From launch to recovery, the learnings of one year feels like more than a year. The learnings and knowledge is going to prove invaluable for our (Gaganyaan) mission”, he said.On June 25, Dragon Grace spacecraft lifted off with mission pilot Shukla along with commander Peggy Whitson and mission specialists Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski and Tibor Kapu, marking the first human space flight for India, Poland and Hungary in 40 years.

This is only the beginning”, he said.While preparation for the Ax-4 mission began on August 1 last year, Shukla said the experience of being in space, performing experiments and understanding how the body reacts to microgravity adds to what they were trained for through the year.“We got comfortable fast. After a couple of days, it didn’t matter if we were next to the floor or the ceiling,” he laughed.The Lucknow resident shed light on how it took him days to adjust to gravity.“It takes some time to get back to what we did all our lives.
