"Storm Delays Axiom 3 Crew's Florida Splashdown Again"

Axiom Space's Ax-3 mission, the first all-European crew of private astronauts at the International Space Station, is extending its stay in low-Earth orbit due to unfavorable weather conditions for splashdown near the Florida coastline. The astronauts are now scheduled to depart the ISS at 9:05 a.m. Wednesday, aiming for a successful return to Earth. Axiom Space aims to build the world’s first commercial space station, with the Ax-3 mission playing a pivotal role in gathering mission data and conducting scientific experiments.
