On June 25, 2025, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched Axiom Space’s Ax-4 mission from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, carrying four private astronauts—Peggy Whitson (U.S.), Shubhanshu Shukla (India), Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski (Poland), and Tibor Kapu (Hungary)—to the International Space Station (ISS) for a two-week mission.
Docking on June 26, the crew, aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft, will conduct over 60 scientific experiments from 31 countries, including microgravity research on human physiology, microalgae, and technology, alongside STEM outreach.
Despite delays due to a Falcon 9 liquid oxygen leak and an ISS Zvezda module pressure issue, the mission highlights Axiom’s push for a commercial space station and international collaboration, with details available on NASA+, SpaceX, and Axiom Space’s platforms.
