‍Italian Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) Operations Center (ISOC) Services for ISS (ISOC [Ax-3]) on the private astronaut mission (PAM) Axiom-3 (Ax-3) evaluates a web-based space situational awareness (SSA) tool on the International Space Station. The investigation assesses the tool’s ability to conduct autonomous analysis of the risk of collision between a satellite and another object in orbit and compares space weather alerts with the actual experience of crew members.

This technology demonstration aims to develop and test the digital infrastructure required to process and analyze data from a wearable device collected during the Ax-4 mission via edge computing. In future, these infrastructure frameworks may enable prediction of human performance based on biometric data, to optimize the completion of tasks and activities during spaceflight. The technology could be useful for multiple industries on Earth that rely on skilled human performance.

ISS Ham Radio conducted by crew members on Axiom Space private astronaut missions (PAMs), connect youth, educators, and members of the public with a crew member on the International Space Station via amateur radio. Participating students learn about space, the space station, Earth observation, wireless technology, and radio science. The first-hand exposure to life in space helps inspire the next generation of explorers.

The Immune Multiomics project aim to examines the molecular adaptation by human immune cells to microgravity and other space-related stresses. Blood samples will be collected before, during, and after the mission, with analyses exploring how changes persist after returning to Earth. Insights from this research could help understand crew health during long-duration space missions. On Earth, the findings could inform understanding of immune disorders and the immune response to stress.
