Axiom Mission 4, set to lift off at 2:31 a.m. EDT (0631 UTC) on Wednesday, June 25, is Axiom's fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. Ax-4 is launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center aboard SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.

During their two-week stay aboard the orbiting laboratory, the crew of Ax-4 will engage in science, outreach, and commercial activities.

Peggy Whitson, former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, will command the mission, while ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will serve as pilot. The two mission specialists are ESA (European Space Agency) project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary. This mission will send the first ISRO astronaut to the station as part of a joint effort between NASA and the Indian space agency. Ax-4 will also carry the first astronauts from Poland and Hungary to stay aboard the space station.

Launch coverage is led by Axiom Space, with support from NASA and SpaceX; NASA's primary mission responsibilities begin during Dragon's approach to the International Space Station, the start of Ax-4 integrated operations.
