Lok Sabha goes digital: MPs to mark attendance online from Monsoon Session, use AI to transcribe speeches The Ax-4 mission crew, led by Commander Peggy Whitson and piloted by Shukla, spent over two weeks aboard the International Space Station (ISS). During their time, they conducted more than 60 scientific experiments spanning agriculture, medicine, water systems, and human physiology in microgravity. Their spacecraft, Grace, undocked from the ISS on Monday around 4:50 PM IST, completing its 22.5-hour journey back to Earth. This marked Axiom’s fourth human spaceflight and SpaceX’s 18th since 2020.
