The US space agency Nasa and the private company Axiom Space have agreed to send private individuals to the International Space Station ISS again. “Axiom Mission 2” (Ax-2) is planned for the second quarter of 2023, Nasa announced.
In April, a purely private crew of four men flew to the ISS for around a week on “Ax-1” for the first time. Also this time four people should fly again, it was said. The trip is again organized by Axiom Space, Nasa and SpaceX, a company owned by billionaire Elon Musk. In addition to scientific tests, the mission is also intended to explore the future potential of space tourism.
