Shubman's Big Test Begins! India's Probable XI & Stokes' Mind Games
SpaceX Starship Bursts Into Flames; Disastrous Test Caught On Cam | Watch Viral Video
Elon Musk's SpaceX faced a major setback as its Starship 36 rocket exploded during a routine static fire test at Starbase, Texas. The powerful explosion, captured in viral videos, sent massive flames and smoke into the sky. This test was part of preparations for the highly anticipated Starship Flight 10, which was scheduled for later this month. Despite the explosion, SpaceX is known for learning from such failures and improving their designs. The incident has led to the likely delay of the planned launch, as the company now faces the task of recovering and refining its spacecraft for future missions.#spacex #explosion #elonmusk #starbase #texas #starshipflight10

NASA Suspends June 22 Launch Of Axiom-4 Space Mission Carrying India's Shubhanshu Shukla
Last Updated: The Axiom-4 mission carrying Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla to the International Space Station has seen several delays. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has decided to stand down from the launch of the Axiom-4 space mission, scheduled on June 22 (Sunday), and will target a new launch date in the coming days. The mission was supposed to take four astronauts, including Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, to the International Space Station (ISS) on board SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket. 'NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX continue reviewing launch opportunities for Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station. NASA has made the decision to stand down from a launch on Sunday, June 22, and will target a new launch date in the coming days," NASA said. The agency said it needed additional time to continue evaluating ISS operations after recent repair work in the aft (back) most segment of the orbital laboratory's Zvezda service module. NASA said it wanted to ensure that the station was ready for additional crew members and was reviewing data, in lieu of the space station's interconnected and interdependent systems. . @NASA, @Axiom_Space, and @SpaceX continue reviewing launch opportunities for Axiom Mission 4.

The crew remains in quarantine in Florida, and the astronauts stand ready to launch when the station is ready to receive them," it said. The Axiom-4 mission to the ISS will be commanded by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, and Shubhanshu Shukla will serve as the pilot. European Space Agency's Slawosz Uznanski from Poland and Hungary's Tibor Kapu are the mission specialists. The crew will be taken to the space station via SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft. Initially planned for May 29, the launch faced several delays due to a detected liquid oxygen leak in the Falcon 9 boosters and problems with the aging Russian module of the International Space Station. It was subsequently rescheduled to June 8, then June 10, then June 11 and ultimately to June 19. The space crew will carry out around 60 experiments during their 14-day stay in space, ranging from life science to technology demonstrations to diabetes research. There have been concerns over repeated delays in the mission, as the launch window is narrowing with every passing day. The ISS, which has been orbiting the Earth for almost 25 years, has a tightly-managed schedule coordinated by NASA. First Published: June 20, 2025, 06:57 IST

Shubhanshu Shuklas ISS Mission Delayed: NASA Awaits New Date
NASA has postponed the planned launch of Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station (ISS). The Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla-led mission was rescheduled for June 22 (Sunday). The ISS said on Friday morning that NASA is standing down from a launch on Sunday, and that it will target a new launch date in the coming days. "@NASA, @Axiom_Space, and @SpaceX continue reviewing launch opportunities for Axiom Mission 4. NASA is standing down from a launch on Sunday, June 22, and will target a new launch date in the coming days," the ISS wrote in a post on X. .@NASA, @Axiom_Space, and @SpaceX continue reviewing launch opportunities for Axiom Mission 4. NASA is standing down from a launch on Sunday, June 22, and will target a new launch date in the coming days. — International Space Station (@Space_Station) June 19, 2025 According to the ISS, additional time is needed to evaluate station operations following recent repair work in the aft segment of the Zvezda service module. Due to the highly interconnected nature of the orbital laboratory's systems, NASA is reviewing relevant data to ensure readiness for the arrival of additional crew members. Highlighting the global significance of the mission, ISS noted that the agencies "appreciate the historic nature of this mission for the nations of India, Poland, and Hungary, as well as the world." The four-member crew remains in quarantine in Florida and is prepared to launch once the station is cleared to receive them. Axiom Mission 4 will be commanded by Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut and now Axiom Space's Director of Human Spaceflight. Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla from ISRO will serve as the mission's pilot. The mission specialists are ESA project astronaut Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft remain in good condition and are stationed at Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Earlier, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that the Axiom-4 space mission -- which includes Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla -- will not launch before June 22, as safety assessments are still underway before clearing the final launch timeline. "We have been told that it won't be before 22nd June. There is a safety angle also involved here," Singh said at a press conference. Following the rescheduling, Axiom Space had said in a statement earlier that NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX were targeting no earlier than Sunday, June 22, for the launch. The change allows NASA time to continue evaluating station operations after recent repairs in the Zvezda service module. In a post on X, Dr. Jitendra Singh confirmed the updated launch timeline, writing: "Axiom Mission 04 to the International Space Station (ISS)... After assessing key parameters, including module fitness, crew health, and weather, @Axiom_Space has indicated that June 22, 2025, may be the next likely launch date of Axiom-04 Mission carrying, among others, the Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, to the ISS." He added that further updates would be shared accordingly. On the 11th anniversary of the Modi government, Singh also highlighted the socio-economic impact of administrative reforms over the past decade. "The administrative reforms that happened in the last 11 years were not limited to governance. They had extreme socio-economic ramifications," he said. He emphasized the push toward digital governance aimed at enhancing ease of living for common citizens, and noted that reforms created a more automated system that helped the government achieve key milestones. "During the 11 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, not only has governance improved but also had significant socio-economic consequences," Singh said. He added that schemes and reforms were aimed at ensuring justice for marginalised groups.
