The Axiom-3 crew, consisting of members from Sweden, the U.S., Spain, Italy, and Turkey, arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) after launching from the Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. The crew's arrival brings the total number of people aboard the ISS to 11, and they will conduct science experiments and outreach events during their stay.
