After a successful mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, affectionately known as “Shux,” has bid farewell to his orbiting home and embarked on a 22-hour journey back to Earth.
Undocking Marks the Beginning of the End of a Remarkable Mission
The undocking of the Dragon spacecraft, carrying Shux and the Ax-4 crew, marks a bittersweet moment. While the team is undoubtedly eager to return to Earth, they leave behind an experience few are privileged to have.
