A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying the Axiom Mission 4 crew docks to the space-facing port of the International Space Station\u2019s Harmony module on June 26. Axiom Mission 4 is the fourth all-private astronaut mission<\/a> to the orbiting laboratory, welcoming commander Peggy Whitson, former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut and pilot Shubhanshu Shukla, and mission specialists ESA (European Space Agency) project astronaut S\u0142awosz Uzna\u0144ski-Wi\u015bniewski of Poland and HUNOR (Hungarian to Orbit) astronaut Tibor Kapu of Hungary.<\/p>\n

The crew is scheduled to remain at the space station, conducting microgravity research, educational outreach, and commercial activities, for about two weeks. This mission serves as an example of the success derived from collaboration between NASA\u2019s international partners and American commercial space companies.<\/p>\n
