Axiom Space is on verge of its fourth private astronaut mission to space in
as many years. The flight, dubbed Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), will see the
astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary reach the International Space
Station (ISS) for the first time.

The four crew members, led by Axiom Space窶冱 Director of Human Spaceflight,
Peggy Whitson, will embark on a roughly two-week mission to the orbiting
outpost. The quartet will launch onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from
NASA窶冱 Kennedy Space Center, but the launch was delayed due to a variety of
issues, including an air leak on the ISS, weather, and a possible issue
with the Falcon 9 booster rocket.

SpaceX had also said on Sunday, June 15, it was reviewing data from a
static test firing that took place that day, suggesting there was perhaps
an undisclosed technical problem. The mission was previously delayed from
late May because the mission窶冱 brand new Crew Dragon spacecraft was not
ready.

The mission, dubbed Axiom Mission 4 or Ax-4, features the debut of the Crew
Dragon spacecraft, tail number C213. This has been billed by SpaceX as its
fifth and final Dragon capsule. SpaceX窶冱 long-term goals are to shift its
human spaceflight missions from Dragon to its Starship rocket, which it
said will be capable of ferrying dozens of people into space.

A number of amateur radio contacts are among the tasks that are to be
performed by the Axiom crew during their time aboard the ISS.
