Axiom Space private astronaut missions support breakthroughs in space, bringing benefits to every human, everywhere.
Digital Voice Assistant demonstrates a digital voice assistant to support crew operations on the International Space Station. Results could help support the development of a robust voice-based assistant to perform a variety of functions on the planned Axiom space station.
The STEM-focused experiments are conducted in microgravity to educate students on the unique environment of the Space Station. These three visual experiments will demonstrate differences in fluid behavior on Earth and in microgravity, explore the aerodynamic behavior of different kite shapes on the ISS, and show effects of the vacuum of space on heat transfer. Students across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will participate in ground-based experiments on Earth to gather comparison data with custom-built kits and, in the case of Space Kites, the general public can gather their own data using household materials and instructions provided by DreamUp. This project is in collaboration with the Saudi Space Agency.
This experiment aims to evaluate the effectiveness of neurofeedback sessions in reducing stress and enhancing performance in astronauts. By conducting pre-flight and post-flight tests (including psychological assessments, muscle activity measurements, blood analyses for stress markers, and brain activity), researchers aim to understand how preflight neurofeedback training may impact psychological, physiological, and motor functions. This experiment can help train crews for future spaceflight and develop technologies to help mitigate stress and improve performance on Earth.
In collaboration with the Italian Air Force (ItAF) and Italian Space Agency (ASI), the Italian company REA will conduct an in-orbit test of the Electrical Muscle Simulation (EMSi) suit – an intra-vehicular suit that can monitor and measure astronaut body movement. The suit is made of a material with antibacterial properties and contains sensors to collect data on muscle activity from the arms, legs, and trunk during daily activities. It also incorporates compression properties to help correct the shifts in body fluid distribution seen in microgravity. This project will test the suit during Ax-3 and could be used during future space missions to improve astronaut health and well-being.
