The Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew completed NASA training, marking a significant milestone as they prepare for their journey to the International Space Station. The four-person crew’s completion of the NASA training program stands as a testament to their hardwork and the collaborative spirit that drives human space exploration.
Since August 2024, the Ax-4 crew has trained at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, focusing on space station operations. Their preparation included a blend of classroom instruction, simulator exercises, and full-team scenarios within realistic mockups of space station modules. This hands-on training covered everything from payload operations to safety protocols, ensuring the crew is prepared to live and work in the microgravity environment of the station and meet their mission objectives.
The partnership between Axiom Space and NASA provided the astronauts with comprehensive instruction and guidance for their mission, leveraging the expertise and resources of both organizations.
Upon the successful completion of NASA training, the Ax-4 crew celebrated alongside NASA and Axiom Space mission operations teams during the traditional patch hanging ceremony.
The Ax-4 crew now gears up for final preparations before their slated launch in May, standing ready to embrace the discoveries that await them in low-Earth orbit.
