About the Axiom-4 mission

The Axiom-4 mission is part of NASA’s private astronaut program, which allows commercial companies like Axiom Space to send astronauts to the ISS. This will be the fourth mission in the series, following Axiom-1, Axiom-2, and Axiom-3. The Crew Dragon spacecraft will be used for the mission, and the crew may include private astronauts or commercial participants. The mission’s goals are to conduct scientific research, demonstrate new technologies, and strengthen international partnerships for future space exploration.
