The mission aims to demonstrate India's capabilities in human spaceflight and pave the way for future crewed missions. Shukla's successful launch and safe return to Earth are a testament to India's advancements in space technology and its growing presence on the global space stage. This achievement not only inspires the nation but also contributes to the ongoing international collaboration in space exploration.
