Axiom Mission 4
Axiom Mission 4 (Ax‑4) is a private spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS) operated by Axiom Space in partnership with SpaceX and NASA. It used SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket to place into low Earth orbit. This is the maiden flight of the C213 spacecraft ''Grace'', the fifth and final Crew Dragon to be built. The flight was scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A, Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center on June 11, 2025, but it was scrubbed due to a liquid oxygen leak. Due to an unrelated leak in the Zvezda (ISS module), ''Zvezda'' ISS module, the next attempt was postponed by two weeks until successful liftoff on June 25, 2025 at 06:31:52UTC (2:31:52amEastern Daylight Time, EDT). Crew The crew of four consists of commander Peggy Whitson, an Axiom employee and former NASA astronaut; pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of the ISRO, Indian Space Research Organisation; and mission specialists Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, a European Space ...

Private Spaceflight
Private spaceflight is any spaceflight development that is not conducted by a government agency, such as NASA or ESA. During the early decades of the Space Age, the government space agencies of the Soviet Union and United States pioneered space technology in collaboration with affiliated design bureaus in the USSR and private companies in the US. They entirely funded both the development of new spaceflight technologies and the operational costs of spaceflight. Following a similar model of space technology development, the European Space Agency was formed in 1975. Arianespace, born out of ESA's independent spaceflight efforts, became the world's first commercial launch service provider in the early 1980s. Subsequently, large defense contractors began to develop and operate space launch systems, which were derived from government rockets. In the United States, the FAA has created a new certification called Commercial Astronaut, a new occupation. In the 2000s, en ...

Low Earth Orbit
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an geocentric orbit, orbit around Earth with a orbital period, period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an orbital eccentricity, eccentricity less than 0.25. Most of the artificial objects in outer space are in LEO, peaking in number at an altitude around , while the farthest in LEO, before medium Earth orbit (MEO), have an altitude of 2,000 km, about one-third of the Earth radius, radius of Earth and near the beginning of the Van Allen radiation belt#Inner belt, inner Van Allen radiation belt. The term ''LEO region'' is used for the area of space below an altitude of (about one-third of Earth's radius). Objects in orbits that pass through this zone, even if they have an apogee further out or are sub-orbital spaceflight, sub-orbital, are carefully tracked since they present a collision risk to the many LEO satellites. No human spaceflights other than the lunar missions of the Apollo program (1968-1972) have gone beyond L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA ) is an independent agencies of the United States government, independent agency of the federal government of the United States, US federal government responsible for the United States's civil list of government space agencies, space program, aeronautics research and outer space, space research. National Aeronautics and Space Act, Established in 1958, it succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to give the American space development effort a distinct civilian orientation, emphasizing peaceful applications in space science. It has since led most of America's space exploration programs, including Project Mercury, Project Gemini, the 1968–1972 Apollo program missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA supports the International Space Station (ISS) along with the Commercial Crew Program and oversees the development of the Orion (spacecraft), Orion spacecraft and the Sp ...

SpaceX Crew-11
SpaceX Crew-11 is planned to be the eleventh operational NASA Commercial Crew Program flight and the 19th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission will transport four crew members – NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Michael Fincke, JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov — to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is planned to launch in July 2025.

Fram2
Fram2 was a private human spaceflight mission operated by SpaceX with a Crew Dragon spacecraft on behalf of entrepreneur Chun Wang. During the mission, Wang and his all-civilian crew— Jannicke Mikkelsen, Rabea Rogge and Eric Philips—were launched into a polar orbit, a first for a human spaceflight mission. During the three-day mission, the crew conducted scientific research. Crew The crew of Fram2 was announced in August 2024. Mission The mission studied the Earth's poles and their space environment. It was a free-flight mission of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, which was equipped with the panoramic cupola attachment that first flew on Inspiration4. Initially, Crew Dragon ''Endurance'' was selected for this flight, because it shares its name with Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration vessel. Due to changes in the Crew Dragon manifest, however, ''Endurance'' was assigned to Crew-10, and it was decided to fly Fram2 using '' Resilience''. The mission launched fro ...

SpaceX Dragon 2
Dragon 2 is a class of partially reusable spacecraft developed, manufactured, and operated by the American space company SpaceX for flights to the International Space Station (ISS) and private spaceflight missions. The spacecraft, which consists of a reusable space capsule and an expendable Service module, trunk module, has two variants: the 4-person Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon, a replacement for the SpaceX Dragon 1, Dragon 1 cargo capsule. The spacecraft launches atop a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket, and the capsule returns to Earth through splashdown. Crew Dragon's primary role is to transport crews to and from the ISS under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, a task handled by the Space Shuttle until it was Retirement of the Space Shuttle, retired in 2011. It will be joined by Boeing Starliner, Boeing's Starliner in this role when NASA certifies it. Crew Dragon is also used for commercial flights to ISS and other destinations and is expected to be used to transport people to and fr ...

Axiom Mission 3
Axiom Mission 3 (or Ax-3) was a private spaceflight to the International Space Station. The flight launched on 18 January 2024, and lasted for 21 days, successfully splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean. It was operated by Axiom Space and used a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. The booster, B1080, had previously flown Axiom-2, among other high-profile missions. Muninn The Swedish component of Ax-3 would be the ''Muninn'' mission with Marcus Wandt as the first ESA astronaut launched by a private space provider. Wandt was also the first member of the 2022 European Space Agency Astronaut Group to receive a spaceflight mission. The mission's name comes from one of Odin's two ravens that together combined symbolize the human mind with Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen being launched as part of the ''Huninn'' mission on SpaceX Crew-7. This was the first time that two Scandinavians were in space at the same time. Wandt conducted 20 experiments and participated in five educational pr ...

Hunor Mission Patch
Hunor and Magor were, according to Hungarian legend, the ancestors of the Huns and the Magyars. The legend was first promoted in ''Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum''. The legend's aim in providing a common ancestry for the Huns and the Magyars was to suggest historical continuum of the Kingdom of Hungary with the Hun Empire. Magyars led by prince Árpád had conquered the area in the 890s. The territory had previously been held by Attila the Hun in the 5th century. The legend thus tried to prove that the Magyars were simply reclaiming their ancient homeland as descendants of Attila.Engel p.121 According to Simon of Kéza, Hunor and Magor were the sons of Nimrod, a Giant (mythology), mythical giant, who he partly identified with Nimrod of the Bible (the great-grandson of Noah). The myth The brothers Hunor and Magor were the legendary forefathers of the Huns The Huns were a nomadic people who lived in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe between the 4th and 6th c ...
