SpaceX Dragon has safely delivered the four-member Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew to the International Space Station (ISS), docking right on schedule at 4:00 p.m. IST. The spacecraft latched onto the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module, completing its journey from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla becomes the first Indian pilot on a commercial space mission, echoing the legacy of Rakesh Sharma’s 1984 voyage. His role as Ax-4 mission pilot marks a proud milestone for India and highlights the growing opportunities in private-sector space exploration.
The Ax-4 crew will tackle the largest science load ever flown on an Axiom Space mission, carrying out cutting-edge research, educational outreach, and commercial projects during their stay. Their experiments will leverage microgravity to advance knowledge in biology, materials science, and technology.
SpaceX Dragon’s flawless rendezvous underscores the spacecraft’s reliability for crewed missions. The smooth docking strengthens confidence in Dragon as a workhorse for both NASA and private partners like Axiom Space.
