🌌Axiom Space is leading the way in commercial space exploration, expanding opportunities for private citizens and sovereign nations to participate in microgravity research and manufacturing.
🚀The ax2 mission is the second of four planned missions by SpaceX for Axiom Space. It builds on the success of the ax1 mission and brings us one step closer to the realization of Axiom Station, the world's first private space station.
🌍The ax2 crew includes Peggy Whitson, a highly experienced astronaut and the commander of the mission, as well as John Shoffner, Ali Al-Karni, and Rayana Barnawi, representing the Saudi Space Commission.
👥The crew members bring diverse backgrounds and expertise to the mission, with a focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education and empowering educators around the world.
🌠The ax2 mission will conduct a wide range of research to further our understanding of how the human body responds to microgravity. The data collected will be crucial for future human exploration of space.
