AXIOM Mission 4’s pilot group captain Shubanshu Shukla shared his favorite song before launching NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Unveiling his launch day playlist, the Indian pilot revealed that he prefers to listen to Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Swedes’ film song ‘Yuh Hi Chala Chala’.
‘Yuh Hi Chala Chala’ is a popular song from the 2004 film S. S. The song was composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman, and the songs were written by experienced lyricist Javed Akhtar.
The songs were given by Udit Narayan, Kailash Kher and Hariharan. It is a motivational track that encourages the film’s main character (SRK) to practice firmness and follow its own way. The song appears in an monetary sequence where Shah Rukh Khan and actor Market Deshpande travel to Indian rural areas.
According to official synopsis, Swedes are a film about a NASA scientist who returns to his homeland to find a grandmother, who picked her up, intended to bring her back to America. His journey takes him to the village of India, to the village of Charanpur, and sets him on both an external and internal discovery, where he is actually.
Taking on its X handle, Axiom Space shared the launch day playlist of the Axiom Mission 4 crew. Commander Paigi Whitson has named his Go-to Song as ‘Thunder’ by Imagine Dragon.

Astronauts are using the new Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AXEMU) spacesuit, which provides them with advanced capabilities for space exploration, while NASA offers NASA with the necessary professional developed human systems to reach, live and work on the moon and around.
Advanced spacesuits ensure that astronauts are equipped with high -performance, strong equipment and are designed to adjust a wide range of crew members.
The AX-4 mission is going to do major research. Research supplement includes around 60 scientific studies and activities that represent 31 countries, including the United States, India, Poland, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Nigeria, UAE and the entire Europe.
