Axiom Space announced an agreement with Saudi Arabia this past September to fly astronauts to the International Space Station.
This crew will be apart of Axiom Mission 2, or Ax-2, which is the private space company’s second mission to the International Space Station. Peggy Whitson, who is Axiom Space’s Director of Human Spaceflight and a former NASA astronaut, will serve as the Ax-2 commander. Ali Algarni and Rayyanah Barnawi, two Saudi astronauts, will serve as mission specialists and will be joining the mission via an arrangement between Axiom Space and Saudi Arabia.
. Shortly thereafter, NASA announced that it would be updating the requirements for astronauts accompanying private space missions—including a stipulation that private missions must now be led by a former NASA astronaut.
