Following the successful launch of Axiom Mission 4 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, June 25, its four crew members are arriving at the International Space Station.
Ax-4 is scheduled to dock with the station at 6:30 a.m. EDT (1030 UTC) on Thursday, June 26; arrival coverage will continue as the Ax-4 crew enters the station and makes welcome remarks. During their two-week stay aboard the orbiting laboratory, the crew of Ax-4 will engage in science, outreach, and commercial activities.
Peggy Whitson, former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, is commanding the mission, with ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla serving as pilot. The two mission specialists are ESA (European Space Agency) project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary. This mission is sending the first ISRO astronaut to the station as part of a joint effort between NASA and the Indian space agency. Ax-4 is also carrying the first astronauts from Poland and Hungary to stay aboard the space station.
