Axiom Space is preparing for its fourth mission to the International Space Station (ISS) which is described as a 'victory lap' by CEO Tejpaul Bhatia.
The upcoming mission, named Ax-4, will be Axiom Space's second 'fully national mission' with astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary, marking the return to human spaceflight for these countries.
Axiom Space aims to transition from ISS missions to building the Axiom Station, adding commercial modules that detach and become free-flying stations.
CEO Bhatia envisions multi-planetary exploration where commercial companies play a significant role, emphasizing the need for collaboration in the expanding commercial space industry.
