Four Aircraft Crews On Ax-3 Axiom Space Mission Ready To Launch Next Year

JAKARTA The third mission from Axiom Space will be carried out next year, at the earliest in January 2024. Although there are still a few months to January, the four crew members from this miss are very ready to land on the International Space Station (ISS).

Quoting fromSpace, Ax-3 Axiom Space's mission will carry four crew members, one of whom is a former astronaut from the United States (NASA) Aeronautics and Space Agency Michael Lryptez-Alegr totaling.

Lryptez-Alegrman once joined the Ax-1 mission, even leading the mission so he was trusted to lead the Ax-3 mission. He said that the entire flight crew were ready because they had been training since the Ax-1 mission was carried out.

The former NASA astronaut with dual citizenship, namely the United States and Spain, will fly with Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt. Although previously Wandt's status was only a reserve astronaut, Wandt was finally assigned to join the Ax-3 mission.

Wandt said he was happy to be called up on this mission because his background was a pilot from the fighter and tester from the pilots. Apart from Lryptez-Alegratur and Wandt, there are still two other crew members.

These two crew members are Walter Villadei, an Italian Air Force Colonel, and the Turkish Alper Gezeravc

For information, Axiom Space plans to launch the Ax-3 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Ax-3 will launch on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket.
