Prior to docking, the Dragon spacecraft had to carefully synchronize its class with the ISS, making both the situation and the speed match. This complex process is known as randezavas, followed by the order of highly accurate exercise to align and connect the capsules with the station. First, a ‘soft capture’ was confirmed, indicating a flexible initial contact that safely absorbed the kinetic energy of the spacecraft. A few moments later, NASA Mission Control confirmed a ‘hard capture’, which safely locked the capsule of the capsule ISS.
As soon as Shubhanshu Shukla successfully entered the international space station, his proud family saw this important moment from the earth. Seeing his son becoming the first Indian to reach the space station, the family today expects to meet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and celebrate this historical achievement.

In a emotional message sent from class before Docking, Shukla greeted the Indians as “Namaskar from space”, and expressed pride in raising the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians on his shoulders. He said, “Swimming in zero is indescribable. It is a wonderful, humble feeling. I want to thank all those who made it possible. It is not just my achievement – this is a collective achievement, which has been shared by many people at home.” Walking with a soft toy swan with him, he said that Hans is a symbol of intelligence in Indian culture.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that the priorities of other governments may have been fixed or maybe they have not felt the needs of the world or may not have envisaged India’s global role, which happened after 2014. Prime Minister Modi was very clear about that India would have to follow global strategies, work according to global parameters and our standard should not be domestic standard … So the spirit of healthy competition is really mandatory for India to reach the place of India.
