A large piece of space junk from a SpaceX mission crash-landed on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. The debris, weighing 40 kilograms and measuring 2 meters wide, is believed to be from the Dragon Trunk section of the Axiom 3 mission. The incident highlights the increasing risk of space debris falling to Earth and potentially causing harm.
Axiom Space's upcoming Axiom-3 mission, set to launch in January 2024, will conduct pioneering microgravity experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). The crew will spend 14 days docked at the ISS, conducting experiments in various scientific disciplines, including human health, medicine, cell biology, materials, and gastronomy. The mission will focus on advancing materials, robotics, and artificial intelligence for space exploration and infrastructure development. It will also study the impact of space on human health, including vascular health, protein folding, bone density loss, and psychological factors. The research conducted during the mission will have applications in cancer treatment, neurodegenerative diseases, and other areas of human health on Earth.
