Ax-4 Mission: "Building Opportunities for Earth" | Axiom Space
"Hear from the Ax4 astronauts about the significance of the mission and how we are expanding access to low Earth orbit (LEO) for countries to pursue their space exploration goals, leading to advancements for Earth. We are building era-defining space infrastructure that drives exploration and fuels a vibrant space economy for the benefit of every human everywhere."
Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland, and Tibor Kapu of Hungary have been aboard the International Space Station after launching June 25, 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for Axiom Mission 4.
The private astronauts are spending about two weeks aboard the orbiting laboratory, conducting a mission of science, outreach, and commercial activities.
The Ax-4 Mission “realizes the return” to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, with each nation’s first government-sponsored flight in more than 40 years. While Ax-4 marks these countries' second human spaceflight mission in history, it is the first time all three nations will execute a mission on board the International Space Station.
The Ax-4 research complement includes around 60 scientific studies and activities representing 31 countries, including the U.S., India, Poland, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Nigeria, UAE, and nations across Europe.
