TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will launch its new uncrewed cargo spacecraft HTV-X to resupply the International Space Station on October 21, it said on Friday.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla was originally planned for lift-off on May 29, but his mission was postponed due to multiple delays.
The footage of Erin was captured by the Sen SpaceTV-1 camera system mounted on the International Space Station in low Earth orbit. The space streaming company Sen says its SpaceTV-1 mission launched to the ISS in 2024, and its public livestream began in December that year.
Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared a timelapse of India from space, showing thunderstorms, the Himalayas and sunrise from orbit, while calling the Axiom-4 mission a historic achievement for the nation.

Two astronauts from the three-person Shenzhou 20 mission ventured outside Tiangong to do the spacewalk, which concluded Friday at 9:27 a.m. EDT (1447 UTC, or 10:47 p.m. in Beijing). It was at least the second effort for the crew to put "debris protection" devices on the three-module space station, following similar work on May 22.
