NEW DELHI: The Axiom-4 mission, a crew featuring IAF (Indian Air Force) Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, is set to undock from the International Space Station on Monday.

Speaking on the same lines, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh mentioned that experiments conducted by Group Captain Shukla will benefit other countries of the world.

"Today at around 4:30 PM, they will be undocked. The most important aspect is that Shubhanshu's experiments, which are related to life sciences and plantation, were supported by our Department of Biotechnology and our institutes, including the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and IIT," said Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh.

"Indigenous kits and experiments, developed by indigenous people, will benefit and be used by other countries worldwide. All the experiments were never imagined to date. On India's initiative, Shubhanshu has done this for the whole world. For the first time, experiments of Indian origin have been done by an Indian person for the world," Singh added further.

As Captain Shukla and his crew are set to undock from the International Space Station (ISS), his family in Lucknow is "excited" to welcome him back home.
