Watch live as US company Axiom launches the first all-private crew to the ISS, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
Space tourists have previously visited the ISS, but not as part of a fully private crew. And unlike most of the other
that have taken place in recent months, this mission has a series of scientific goals that will see its crew working alongside the professional astronauts on the ISS.These experiments are a significant part of what sets the passengers of this flight aside from typical space tourists, said Connor in a press conference on 1 April. “Our feeling is, with space tourists, they’ll spend 10 or 15 hours training, 5 to 10 minutes in space,” he said.
In this time, they will perform a series of health-related studies, make observations of Earth and test a prototype for tiles called TESSERAE that magnetically self-assemble into shapes, among other experiments.
