00:00So finally, the launch is taking place to the International Space Station.
00:09Shukla is representing India and he is a pilot of the mission.
00:17Of course, there are some more members, three more, one from USA and another one from Holland
00:27and then third one is from Hungary.
00:34So totally these four astronauts are going to leave in another 15 minutes to a long journey
00:40of about 28 hours and tomorrow evening, our time, 4 o'clock, they will be locking with
00:49the International Space Station.
00:52And originally this mission was planned for May 29th and first it got postponed due to
01:01weather conditions, then second time it was postponed due to a leak in the liquid oxygen
01:09line which is for the engine.
01:15And then you know they were trying to do some repair of that and then finally it got some
01:22I think they must have changed the entire line.
01:24Now it is announced that they will be going tomorrow.
01:28Of course, there is going to be a new Dragon Spacecraft, engine is the same and in the mean
01:39while we understand that there was a leak in the Russian space, this one, there was a leak
01:48and that was also to be rectified but they didn't want to have a pressure build up in the space
01:51station so this is where the delay is.
01:57Now totally about some 30 experiments are planned and Shukla will be doing some 6 experiments and
02:06also one of the experiments he will be probably in touch with earth, maybe he will be talking
02:11to the Prime Minister of India.
02:15All I want to say is that wish him good luck and let him have a safe and happy journey.
