FLORIDA, USA, JUN 25 – The mission includes four astronauts from India, Poland, Hungary, and the US on a two-week commercial stay conducting over 60 experiments, marking Axiom's most research-intensive flight yet.
- Axiom Space's fourth private mission crew, led by commander Peggy Whitson, docked their SpaceX Dragon capsule Grace to the ISS early June 26, 2025, after launching from Kennedy Space Center.
- The mission followed launch delays caused by early Wednesday technical issues and ISS leaks, which postponed the crew's originally scheduled lift-off Wednesday morning.
- The four-member crew includes Whitson, pilot Shubhanshu Shukla of India, and mission specialists Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary, with three on their first spaceflight.
- The crew will conduct over 60 experiments during a planned two-week stay, with Whitson noting she looks forward to completing a lot of work and appreciates the support they received.
- This mission marks the first Polish government-sponsored spaceflight since 1978 and only the second for Hungary, while the crew will return via splashdown off California, with timing dependent on weather.
