ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 29 (UPI) The first private crew, consisting of four astronauts, plans to fly to the International Space Station in January 2022 on a SpaceX mission arranged by Houston-based firm Axiom Space.
Israeli astronaut Eytan Stibbe and mission commander Michael López-Alegría will be joined by investor Larry Connor and philanthropist Mark Pathy when they blast off to the International Space Station as part of Axiom Space’s first manned private Low Earth Atmosphere mission, the company announced on Thursday during the concluding events of Israeli Space week at the Ramon Science Communications Conference sponsored by the Ramon Foundation and Calcalist.
