Met with the Hon PM today. Last time I spoke to him virtually was from Orbit with this same flag in the background on the @iss. I cannot describe how proud I felt that day representing Bharat and today when I was speaking to the PM @narendramodi Like I said this is just the first

As I sit on the plane to come back to India I have a mix of emotions running through my heart. I feel sad leaving a fantastic group of people behind who were my friends and family for the past one year during this mission. I am also excited about meeting all my friends, family

Had the honour of meeting the honourable president of India. Felt really proud presenting the mission patch that I flew on my suit to the international space station. Let us fly higher and faster together… #shux #space #india #isro #ShubhanshuShukla #presidentinindia

Excited to be back with the team. I am thrilled to see the excitement around the national space day. With our eyes set on the moon in 2040 I am convinced we have the right mindset to achieve the ambitious goal. In the background you see the prototype of the first module of the

Believe it or not- Everything you see in this frame is falling. 😅 When I first reached the International Space Station, I had this strange hesitation: if I let go of something, won’t it just fall? On Earth, that’s exactly what happens. In space, though, my early instinct was to

Food in space. Never thought I would have to learn to eat again 😅. Here I am explaining why habits matter when you are eating in space. If you are not mindful you can easily create a mess and you don’t want to be that guy. Solid mantra that works for anything in space “Slow is

The photographs clicked on the station take some time to received, verified and cleared because of the multiple space agencies involved. While I wait for them I wanted to share an astrophotography story. I started into astrophotography upon returning to India after my first leg

*- Watch the video in landscape with screen brightness high. While on orbit I tried to capture pictures and videos so that I can share this journey with you all. This is a Timelapse video of Bharat from space. The @iss is moving from south to north from the Indian Ocean. We are

Every 8th of October reminds me why I chose to wear the uniform. From my first day as a cadet at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal to flying combat missions across India’s skies, this journey has been one of purpose, pride, and passion.

Science from space - one of the highlights of this mission was conducting science in microgravity. Simple experiments become complex due to the environment of microgravity. Since everything floats, nothing would break if you leave it but would surely float away and you may end up

National Space Day feels extra special this year. Inaugurating the Aryabhatta Gallery at Nehru Planetarium @nehruplanetariumdelhi reminded me why we dream of space-to inspire, to explore, to push limits. I saw the same spark in the young eyes that once inspired me to dream of

Trying to sneak in with the Mercury seven 😅. Had a chance to visit the Kennedy space Center during one of the training visits to Florida. You get to witness the great history of human space exploration everywhere around you at Kennedy Space Center. Mercury seven were the
