Axiom-4 mission launch: Another historical moment has been recorded in the field of space science. The Dragon Capsule of the American company SpaceX, with the Indian-origin astronaut Shubhanshu, successfully left for the International Space Station (ISS) under the Axiom-4 mission. The special feature of this mission is that this is a completely private mission and all astronauts involved are private passengers with vocational training.
At what speed went the dragon capsules?
Under the Axiom-4 mission, the Dragon Capsule was launched with the help of Falcon 9 rocket. This capsule fly in space at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour (7.66 km/second). Such a rapid speed is necessary, so that it can reach the Earth’s orbit and remain stable there and do the dock with the space station. The dragon capsules take about 22 to 24 hours to reach ISS, although it depends on the mission profile and docking schedule. After the launch, the capsule gradually elevates its orbit and aligns itself by mixing speed and direction with the station.
What is the purpose of Axiom-4 mission?
This is the fourth private mission organized by Axiom Space, which aims to promote professional space flights and move towards setting up an independent private space station in the Earth’s orbit. The AXIOM-4 mission is not only a milestone in the field of private space travel, but it is also a symbol of the global contribution of Indians. The flight of Shubhanshu will work to inspire generations in the field of science and technology. Flying at a speed of 400 km above the earth, about 28,000 km/h, the glimpse of the future space age is clearly visible.
