The Axiom-4 mission is gearing up to revolutionize scientific research by completing 60 pivotal studies involving participants from 31 countries, including major players such as the United States, India, and various European nations. These efforts mark the largest research endeavor ever undertaken by Axiom Space aboard the International Space Station.
NASA and ISRO are at the forefront, conducting crucial investigations into muscle regeneration, crop growth, and the survival of tiny organisms in microgravity. The outcomes are poised to enhance our understanding of human biology and sustainable life support systems for future space missions.
ISRO's unique experiments will test the effects of microgravity on crop seeds and cyanobacteria, providing insights into extraterrestrial agriculture. Additional studies on tardigrades and microalgae, alongside STEAM outreach programs, reflect ISRO's broader vision. The mission also hints at progress towards ISRO's upcoming Gaganyaan mission, aiming to launch crewed missions into Low Earth Orbit.
