Astronaut Sunita Williams' mission may have been prolonged because of glitches in the Boeing Starliner capsule but she is in the "safest possible place in space" and there is no cause for concern, ISRO Chairman S Somanath has said.

Speaking exclusively to NDTV on Tuesday, Mr Somanath was asked whether he had any concerns about Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla going to the International Space Station (ISS) later this year, given that Ms Williams - an Indian-origin astronaut - has been there for two months on what was supposed to be a mission lasting approximately a week.
