Their trip, organized by Houston-based Axiom Space, marks the second special mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The spacecraft is scheduled to dock at the orbiting lab at 9:24 a.m. Monday.
The AX-2 mission is one of a series of missions that Axiom Space and NASA hope will continue to encourage private sector participation in spaceflight, particularly in low Earth orbit where the space station is located.
As reported by Ukrinform, China on Sunday successfully launched new satellites for space exploration, including Macao Science 1, the first space exploration satellite in the Macao Special Administrative Region.
