US EditionSpaceX Launches Axiom Space Crew From NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida
- Axiom Space Mission 4 launched successfully at 2:31 a.m. EDT on June 25, 2025, from NASA's Kennedy Space Center aboard SpaceX's new Dragon capsule named Grace.
- The launch encountered multiple postponements due to technical problems with the Falcon 9 rocket and a persistent air leak in the Russian Zvezda module of the ISS, which NASA and Roscosmos worked together to address.
- Led by Peggy Whitson, the four-member crew—featuring astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary—will remain on the ISS for approximately two weeks to carry out more than 60 scientific investigations.
- The Falcon 9 booster landed successfully at Cape Canaveral, and biometric monitoring using the Oura Ring will support a study on glucose and insulin during the mission.
- The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the ISS at 7 a.m. EDT on June 26, with crew return planned for the second week of July off California's coast, supporting Axiom's goal to build a commercial space station before ISS retirement.
