Several issues have prompted NASA and Axiom Space to delay the first U.S.-organized space tourism trip to the International Space Station by about a month.
Three amateur astronauts itching to get to the International Space Station will have to wait a little longer than expected after NASA shifted the mission’s targeted launch date from the end of February to the end of March.
Ax-1, the first ever private astronaut mission to the @Space_Station, is now targeting a March 31 launch due to additional spacecraft preparations & space station traffic. The multinational crew will conduct science, outreach, & commercial activities during their 8 days on ISS. pic.twitter.
Pathy, Connor, and Stibbe are reported to be paying around $55 million each for the space tourism trip, during which they’ll work on research and philanthropic projects that will likely include various health-related activities. While Ax-1 will be NASA’s first experience of overseeing a space tourism mission, Roscosmos has been operating such missions on and off for years.
