New Delhi: Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, during his first call from space on Wednesday, called the experience “indescribable.” Greeting with a “namaskar” from space, Shukla said he is getting used to zero gravity.

"Namaskar from space! I am thrilled to be here with my fellow astronauts. What a ride it was," says Indian astronaut Group Captain Subhanshu, who is piloting #AxiomMission4, as he gives details about his journey into space.

"I’m still getting used to zero gravity — like a baby learning how to walk, figuring out how to move and control myself. But I’m really enjoying every moment," he said.
