Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will soon lift off to the International Space Station aboard Axiom Mission 4, where he will experience a delightful culinary journey.

Over his 14-day mission, Shukla will have the opportunity to savor traditional foods, such as rice dishes, moong dal halwa, and mango nectar, skillfully crafted by ISRO and DRDO scientists. NASA has endorsed these choices, designed to offer the comfort of home-cooked meals high above the Earth.
