Our team has been involved with every ISS mission since the program’s inception.
We are making the possibilities of Low Earth Orbit accessible to visionary governments, researchers, manufacturers, and individuals. Because we believe microgravity is the most promising environment for innovation and problem-solving since the Internet.
In 2022, we successfully completed the first private mission to the International Space Station and we are currently building the first commercial space station, set to launch Hab One in 2026; ensuring a brighter future for everyone on Earth and setting our course for life beyond it.
The leadership team includes world-class, specialized expertise in commercial utilization of microgravity, on-orbit operations, astronaut training, space medicine, space system architecture/design/development, engineering, marketing, and law.
Humanity’s next step off the planet starts with Axiom Space.
Axiom Space was founded in 2016 by Dr. Kam Ghaffarian and Michael Suffredini.
Dr. Kam Ghaffarian is the acting CEO and Executive Chairman of Axiom Space. He previously founded Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc., which became NASA’s second-largest engineering services contractor, training NASA astronauts and operating the ISS. Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc. was acquired by KBR, Inc. in 2018.
Michael Suffredini previously served as Axiom Space’s first CEO and President from its founding until 2024. He also served as NASA’s International Space Station Program Manager from 2005 to 2015, overseeing the Station’s transition from assembly to operation and commercial utilization.
