After spending 18 days aboard the International Space Station, Shubhanshu Shukla and three other astronauts have begun their return journey to Earth. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is expected to reach the coast of California around 3 PM today, Tuesday. It will take approximately 22 hours for their return journey. Upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft will automatically travel at a speed of 28,000 km/h. Once it reaches an altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level, its speed will gradually decrease. The entire nation of India is anxiously counting the moments, praying for the safe and successful return of Shubhanshu Shukla, the pride of the country.
