Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has shared a glimpse of scientific research conducted during the space mission through his Instagram post. He told how the easiest experiments would also become challenging in the state of weightlessness.

Shubhanshu wrote- Everything floats in space. If you keep anything somewhere, then it does not stay there, but fly away. You may take half a day to find that thing. He jokingly said that he is not telling whether it happened to him or not.
On 25 June under the Exium Mission 4, four Astronauts left for the International Space Station, including Shubhanshu Shukla. On June 26, ISS arrived at 4:01 pm Indian time. Returned to Earth on 15 July after staying 18 days. Landing took place on the banks of California. He is very active on social media after returning from space.
Shubhanshu shared a photo of LSG research.
Life Research done in Sciences Glow Box (LSG)
In his post, Shubhanshu told that he was working in LSG (Life Sciences Glovebox). It is a special box, in which dangerous or sensitive experiments are performed safely. Scientists in LSG control the equipment through external gloves so that there is no leakage or infection.
He said- “All the items are first prepared out and then one by one in the LSG. After that we work by putting hands in gloves and maintains contact with the ground team through cameras and head sets.”
Microgravity And on the muscles Effect
Shubhanshu also mentioned the effects on the human body in space. He said that due to microgravity, muscle activity decreases, which reduces muscle strength and durability. “Our muscles on Earth always serve under the influence of gravity (1G), but it does not load in space, causing fatal damage to muscles.”
Shubhanshu also did research on Stem Sale.
Contribution of Indian Research Institute Instam
In the post, Shubhanshu also mentioned a special experiment prepared by Bangalore -based Institute (Institute for Stem Sale Science and Regimental Medicine). This experiment has been done by natural supplements in microgravity aimed at accelerating muscle repair through stem cells. This is considered not only a big step from not only scientific but also from medical perspective.
Chance to do science by hanging on the wall, simply possible in space
At the end of the post, Shubhanshu wrote that in his last picture shared, he is actually doing research hanging on the wall. “This is a very unique experience that you are working on science clinging to the wall. It is only possible in space.”
