Announcing this historic mission, Union Minister of Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh said on Friday, “This journey of Group Captain Shukla is not only a space journey, but it is the beginning of the bold move in India's new space age.”

Shukla has been given intensive training in Russia and America for space travel. His visit will prove to be a milestone for India's Human Space Mission Plan Gaganyaan. During the AXIOM-4 mission they will get practical experience of spaceflight operations, launch procedures, adaptation in micro gravity and emergency preparations.

Shortly thereafter, the most expensive Earth observation satellite NISAR (NASA-Isro Syntic Aperture Radar)-made up of the joint efforts of ISRO and NASA in June-will be launched from India through GSLV-MK II rocket. The satellite is built at a cost of $ 1.5 billion.

According to NASA, this satellite will measure the transformed ecosystem of the Earth, superficial change and the collapse of ice layers. This will give detailed information on biomass, increase in sea levels, groundwater and natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides. It will be the first such satellite in the world to measure changes in the earth's surface up to centimeter levels through two different radar frequency (L-band and S-band).

ISRO is providing satellite bus, S-band radar, launch vehicle and launch services for this mission, while NASA is offering L-band radar and other major systems. On this occasion, ISRO chief V. Narayanan gave a detailed presentation of future missions, including the PSLV-C61 mission, which will carry the EOS-09 satellite. This satellite will be equipped with C-band sectic aperture radar, which can take high resolution in every season and day and night.

Apart from this, the Test Vehicle-D2 (TV-D2) mission is also included in ISRO's program, which aims to test the functioning of the Gaganyaan crew escape system. This mission will practice the maritime recovery process of 'crew module', which is important for India's first human space flight.
