Axiom Space's Ax-2: Meet the Crew and Prepare for Launch

Axiom Space is preparing for its second astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS), known as Ax-2. The international crew of four will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and spend roughly 10 days conducting independent research and technology demonstrations. Axiom's first mission to the ISS, Ax-1, launched just over a year ago, and Ax-3 is currently scheduled for the end of this year. Axiom is also among a number of commercial entities that aim to build a private space station in low Earth orbit (LEO) for research, manufacturing, and tourism.
