ISRO has developed a plan to focus on India-centric foods to conduct experiments on ISS, including Methi (Fenugreek) and Moong (Green Gram) germinated under microgravity conditions.

The Axiom-4 (AX-4) mission will also include Slawosz Uznanski of Project Assornaut, Project Assornaut, who will be the second Polish astronaut since 1978.
