Meet the Ax-3 Mission Crew | Press Conference | Countdown to Launch

Meet the Ax-3 Mission Crew | Press Conference | Countdown to Launch

As the first all-European commercial astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3) will "redefine the pathway to low-Earth orbit for nations around the globe." This mission is an opportunity for more countries to join the international space community and access low-Earth orbit to advance exploration and research in microgravity.

The Ax-3 Mission crew is expected to launch no earlier than Thursday, January 18, 2024, from Kennedy Space Center atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Their Dragon Freedom crew spacecraft will have a day-and-a-half-long ride to the International Space Station.

Ax-3 Mission Crew:

Michael López-Alegría (U.S./Spain)
Ax-3 Commander

Walter Villadei (Italy)
Ax-3 Pilot

Alper Gezeravcı (Türkiye)
Ax-3 Mission Specialist

Marcus Wandt (Sweden)
Ax-3 Mission Specialist

"Axiom Space is guided by the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere. . . . Axiom offers end-to-end missions to the International Space Station today while privately developing its successor—a permanent commercial destination in Earth’s orbit that will sustain human growth off the planet and bring untold benefits back home."
