Shubhanshu Shukla and Axiom-4 News: Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s Axiom-4 mission has been postponed once again.

Under this mission, Indian Air Force Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla was to be sent to the ISS. SpaceX confirms SpaceX has confirmed the postponement of the launch of the Axiom-4 mission scheduled for the International Space Station (ISS).
