BITM to livestream return of Shux

14-07-2025

Kolkata: The Birla Industrial & Technological Museum will livestream the return of the Axiom Mission 4, piloted by group captain Shubhanshu Shukla. The event, scheduled to begin at 1.30 pm, will feature an open house quiz on spaceflight missions, an interactive science demonstration of rocket science involving Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon Grace Spacecraft, and a livestream of the spacecraft's re-entry into Earth's atmosphere with a splashdown off the coast of California in Pacific Ocean.
Shukla and three crew members lifted off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on June 25 and docked to the International Space Station on June 26. Four months ago, Sunita Williams made a splashdown off the Florida coast in the Atlantic Ocean after the SpaceX Crew-9 capsule retrieved her and Butch Wilmore from the ISS, where she spent 278 days more than originally scheduled. BITM had livestreamed that event as well. tnn
