Aboard the ISS: 60+ Experiments Conducted
During their time in orbit, Shukla and his three fellow astronauts conducted over 60 experiments, pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding in the unique microgravity environment of space. These experiments hold immense potential for advancements in various fields, from medicine to materials science.
Readjusting to Earth’s Gravity
After experiencing the weightlessness of space, Shubhanshu will face the challenge of readjusting to Earth’s gravity. This process will involve physical therapy and rehabilitation to help him regain his strength and balance.
