Bengaluru: Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, who is expected to ignore the International Space Station (ISS) on July 14 at 4.35 am, has completed four of the seven ISRO -led microgravity experiments.Shukla, who is part of the Axiom-4 mission, is working on the other three who are close to completion, ISRO has confirmed.Full experiments are: Tardigrades (Bengaluru stress): focusing on existence, revival, reproduction and transcriptal changes in microgravity; Myogenesis: Study of the effect of space on human muscle cell development; Sprouts of fenugreek and moong seeds: with implications for in-arbitas nutrition and food stability, and cyanobacteria: tracking the development of two variants for possible use in closed-loop life support systems.“These experiments are now being packed to return to Earth for further analysis,” ISRO said. There are three experiments to be completed: Microlega: checking its viability and applications in space: L; Crop seeds: Study of growth reactions for the position of the spaceflight, and the veger performance: the details of which are unknown, but are part of the scientific payload.“Together, these investigations are required to generate significant insights for upcoming programs, including Gaganian, proposed space station and future inter -missions,” ISRO said.The space agency stated that Shukla remains in good health and high souls, in which flight surgeons constantly monitor their condition through prescribed private medical and psychological conferences.ISRO said, “The dragon spacecraft of the crew carrying the X -4 crew is expected to exit the coast of California on July 15, 2025, at around 3 pm on IST, again after a series of entry exercises,” ISRO said.After its return, Shukla flying will undergo a rehabilitation program lasting about seven days to read for the Earth’s gravity under the supervision of the Surgeon.
