The mission will send a four-member international crew from India, Hungary, Poland and the US to ISS for a two-week mission, marking the return of the first human spaceflight for the former three countries after more than 40 years. Former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, Peggy Whitson, will command the commercial mission, while Shukla will serve as the pilot. The 14-day mission will "realise the return" to human spaceflight for India....
