Axiom Space’s fourth private astronaut mission safely docked with the International Space Station on 26 June, 28 hours after lifting off from Kennedy Space Center atop a SpaceX Falcon 9. The Crew Dragon capsule, dubbed “Grace,” delivered Mission Commander Peggy Whitson of the United States, pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of India, and mission specialists Tibor Kapu of Hungary and Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland. The arrival marks the first ISS visit for India, Poland and Hungary and the fifth spaceflight for Whitson, the U.S. record-holder with 675 days in orbit. The four astronauts are scheduled to spend 14 days conducting microgravity experiments on muscle atrophy, bone loss, space-induced cognitive changes and radiation exposure, working alongside the station’s seven-member Expedition 73 crew. Their stay comes ahead of a separate logistics flight: Russia’s uncrewed Progress 92 cargo spacecraft is set to launch on 3 July and dock on 5 July with roughly three tonnes of food, fuel and supplies, ensuring continued support for both Expedition 73 and the visiting Axiom crew.
