Build-A-Bear designs zero-gravity indicator for space crew.

Build-A-Bear has partnered with Axiom Space to create a zero-g indicator named "GiGi," which will fly on the Ax-2 mission to the International Space Station. The doll is dressed in a miniature version of Axiom's AxEMU spacesuit and will float inside the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to indicate when the crew has entered the microgravity environment of space. The Ax-2 crew hopes that GiGi will inspire students to learn more about space exploration and consider careers in STEM. Build-A-Bear is also offering for sale the "Axiom Space Bear," a 16-inch-tall version of the Ax-2 zero-g indicator.
