SpaceX, along with Axiom Space, launched its fourth private crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, June 25, at 2:31 AM EDT (06:31 UTC) atop Falcon 9 and the newly-named Crew Dragon Grace. The mission had been postponed following the discovery of leaks on both the launch vehicle and the Station’s Zvezda module.
Axiom-4 (Ax-4) includes the American astronaut with the most time in space and members from three different countries, each marking that country’s first journey to the Station. The mission is expected to spend up to 14 days docked to the ISS.
