SpaceX will launch the Axiom Space Ax-2 mission to the International Space Station at 5:37 p.m. EDT (2137 GMT) on May 21 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The 10-day mission is commanded by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, with paying customer John Shoffner as pilot and Saudia Arabia's first two astronauts, Ali AlQarni and Rayyanah Barnawi, rounding out the crew. The launch has an "instantaneous window," meaning SpaceX must launch at that time in order to reach the International Space Station on schedule and cannot hold the countdown. Live webcasts will be available from NASA, SpaceX, and Axiom Space.
SpaceX's first orbital Starship test flight is set to launch on April 17 from the company's Starbase facility in South Texas. The launch will be webcast live on SpaceX's website and YouTube channel, with coverage starting 45 minutes before liftoff. The Starship will lift off from its Starbase pad and reach a near orbital velocity that will carry it around the world toward a targeted splashdown point in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. The Super Heavy booster will separate about 3 minutes into flight and aim to make a soft landing and splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
