The mission organized by Axiom Space was to start on May 29, but for technical reasons it was translated first to June 10, and then to June 11.
However, this term may be changed. According to Polsat News, a flight to the International Space Station (ISS) will most likely be postponed due to weather conditions. For now, the start decision has been suspended by the American Meteorological Institute.
More information soon.
What is a mission with a Pole?
AX-4 will be the fourth commercial manned expedition carried out by Axiom Space. The participation of a Pole in this mission is the result of a contract signed between the Ministry of Development and Technology and ESA for the preparation and conduct of the Polish scientific and technological mission Ignis on the ISS. The Polish Space Agency (Polsa) also participates in the preparations.
The AX-4 mission consists of: Peggy Whitson (USA)-commander; Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski (Poland/ESA) – specialist; Shubhanshu Shukla (India) – pilot and tibor kapu (Hungary) – specialist. Astronauts are to spend 14 days at the station.
Dr Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski will be the second Pole in space-after Mirosław Hermaszewski, who was there in 1978.
