Shubhanshu Shukla has become the first Indian to set foot on the International Space Station (ISS).
He is part of team including a NASA veteran, Peggy Whitson; a Hungarian astronaut, Tibor Kapu; and Pole, Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski.
The team will spend two weeks on the ISS. The launch was a joint partnership between NASA, SpaceX, and another private space exploration company, Axiom Space.
Shukla becomes only the second Indian in space, following Rakesh Sharma, who flew into space as part of a Soviet mission in the 1980s.
The arrival of the four brings the number of crew currently on the ISS to eleven.
India is planning to launch a human into space in 2027 and has the ambitious goal of landing a human on the moon by 2040.
