Axiom Space will hold a virtual mission overview press conference for the upcoming Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) with leaders from NASA, SpaceX, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), and the Hungarian to Orbit Program (HUNOR). The press conference will provide a high-level review of mission operations and objectives to officially kick off major media efforts leading up to the Ax-4 launch, which is targeted for no earlier than 9:11 a.m. ET, Sunday, June 8.
Ax-4 represents a pivotal moment in the growth of commercial human spaceflight. For the first time in history, astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary will fly together to the International Space Station as part of a government-sponsored mission — with each nation returning to human spaceflight after more than four decades.
The Ax-4 crewmembers are Commander Peggy Whitson of the U.S., Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of India, Mission Specialist Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland, and Mission Specialist Tibor Kapu of Hungary. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Ax-4 crew aboard a Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
