India has shortlisted two astronaut-designates for the upcoming Axiom-4 Mission to the International Space Station (ISS).


A National Mission Assignment Board has recommended two Gaganyatris, Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and Captain Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair for the Mission.

Captain Shukla will become the second Indian to travel to space, following Wing Commander (Retired) Rakesh Sharma, who was the only Indian to have gone to space in 1984.

Axiom Space is an American privately funded space infrastructure provider.

The Mission is in collaboration with NASA and will be the fourth flight of Axiom Space.

It benefits India’s Gaganyaan Mission, strengthens ISRO-NASA cooperation, and demonstrates the viability of commercial space stations.
