"Turkey's First Astronaut Joins International Space Station Expedition"

A four-man crew, including Turkey's first astronaut, arrived at the International Space Station for a two-week stay as part of the Axiom Mission 3, a commercial mission arranged by Axiom Space. The crew, launched by SpaceX, will conduct over 30 scientific experiments focusing on the effects of spaceflight on human health and disease. Axiom, a company specializing in commercial spaceflight, charges at least $55 million per seat for its services and is also involved in building a commercial space station to replace the ISS, which NASA expects to retire around 2030.
