Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who made history as the first Indian to visit the International Space Station, is launching his memoir titled 'The Second Orbit: Belief of a Man... Dreams of 1.4 Billion Hearts,' published by Penguin Random House India, on June 25. The book goes beyond the excitement of space travel, delving into the rigorous training, emotional resilience, and personal setbacks he faced during his journey. Shukla's account reflects on the significance of his mission, not just as a technological achievement but as a source of inspiration for the youth of India, echoing the legacy of Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma's 1984 flight. He intends to keep the door open for future generations to dream big. Currently, Shukla is one of four astronaut-designates for ISRO's Gaganyaan mission, which aims to send a crew to low-Earth orbit by mid-2027. His memoir is crafted to resonate with a broad audience, particularly young readers, emphasizing that dreams of space exploration are within reach.
