Another proud moment has recently been revealed in the indian space sector. It is known that our country’s astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla recently entered the international Space Station (ISS). The people of the indian capital New delhi recently said ‘hi’ to Shubhanshu Shukla, who is currently participating in key research on the ISS, from the ground. After midnight on July 7, a glittering object flew through the sky of Delhi. It was the international Space Station. Many people who saw this artificial satellite clearly that night, orbiting at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers, took photos and videos and posted them on social media, sharing them with good luck, saying ‘Hi good luck!’ These rare scenes have now gone viral on social media.
Scientists say that the ISS is likely to fly over indian skies many times in the future. When it reflects sunlight at night, it is clearly visible to people on Earth. It shines in the sky like planets like the moon, Venus, and Mars. However, since it moves very fast, it disappears from our sight within a few minutes. The ISS is a man-made, habitable space station. It orbits the Earth at an average altitude of 400 km. It takes 93 minutes to orbit the Earth once. That is, it orbits the Earth about 15.5 times a day. It is operated jointly by the United States, Russia, Japan, Europe, and Canada. Scientists from many countries conduct research on the effects of extreme atmospheric conditions on the human body, biology, materials science, physics, etc.
On june 25, Shubhanshu Shukla reached the ISS. He became the rare person in history to enter the international Space Station as an indian astronaut. His journey has created a new direction in indian space travel and has sparked interest in space science among the youth. On this occasion, the heartiest congratulations of the people of delhi were expressed. Such events will inspire more indian astronauts in the future. Good luck with your journey. We can say it is our pride.
