Live updates from the Ax-3 private astronaut mission
Ax-3 is the third crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) organized by Houston-based company Axiom Space, after similar efforts in April 2022 and May 2023.
Ax-3 launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 18, sending four crewmembers aloft. They are Ax-3 commander Michael López-Alegría, a former NASA astronaut who's now Axiom Space's chief astronaut; pilot Walter Villadei, a colonel in the Italian Air Force; mission specialist Alper Gezeravcı, Turkey's first-ever astronaut; and mission specialist Marcus Wandt, a reserve astronaut with the European Space Agency.
López-Alegría holds dual U.S.-Spanish citizenship, so Axiom Space bills Ax-3 as the first all-European crewed mission to the ISS.
