As India celebrates a historic moment with Group Captain Subhanshu Shukla becoming part of the AXIOM-4 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), a unique piece of Indian pride will accompany him, a mission badge designed by fashion designer Manish Tripathi. This custom-designed badge is not just an accessory; it's a visual legacy of India's space heritage, ambitions, and cultural identity, set to orbit Earth on the spacesuit of a son of Indian soil.
