NASA and their international partners have approved the fourth private space station mission of AXIOM Space, released by the Kennedy Space Center in Florida by the spring of 2025.
Former NASA astronaut and AXIOM SPACE’s director of Human Spaceflight leads a commercial mission and is an astronaut Shubhanshu I will be a pilot. The two missions specialists are ESA (European Space Organization) Project Astronaut Swoszuzunas Key Wuni Fusky and Hungary’s Tibol Cap.
Dana Wagel, a manager of the NASA International Space Station Program at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, states: “If you look at the future of the global orbital where NASA is low, the private astronaut mission will help you open the road and expand your unique micro -powered environment.”
AXIOM MISSION 4 (AX-4) moves to Space Station on SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft. When docked, private astronauts will carry out missions consisting of orbitals, outreach, and commercial activities, and will take up to 14 days on track. The mission will send the first ISRO astronaut to the station as part of the joint efforts between NASA and Indian Space Organization. In private missions, the first astronauts from Poland and Hungary are also on the space station.
“Cooperation with talented AX-4 crews was a very rewarding experience,” said Witson. “It is really surprising to witness their selfish dedication and commitment to expand their field of view and create a national opportunity in space exploration. Each crew brings unique strengths and perspectives, our mission. Is not only scientific effort, but also a proof of human ingenuity and teamwork, which can be achieved, and dreamed of the future generation. It is to encourage you to reach.
AXIOM MISSION 1, the first private astronaut mission to the station, was released in April 2022 for a 17 -day mission on the Track Research Institute. AXIOM MISSION 2, the second private astronaut mission to the station, was also released by Whitson and released with four private astronauts who spent eight days in the eight days in May 2023. 。 AXIOM MISSION 3, the latest private astronaut mission started in January 2024. The crew docked the space station for 18 days.
International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology, and human innovation that enables research on earth. For more than 24 years, NASA has supported the existence of an astronaut who has learned to work and work in space for a long time.
The Space Station is a stepping stone to develop a low global economy. The goal of NASA is to achieve a powerful economy in a low -global orbital. There, agencies can purchase services as one of many customers to satisfy the purpose of science and research in micro -gravity. NASA’s commercial strategy for low -global orbitals provides the government with low -cost, reliable and secure services, and training low global orbitals while enabling institutions to focus on Mars. For those deep space missions that can be used as a proven foundation.
