NASA has launched an AXIOM Space Commercial Crew Mission, AXIOM Mission 4 (AX-4), which was planned to launch or then launch on 22 June to allow more time to assess the readiness of the station’s configuration. The station is inspecting after recent repair works at the end of the station Zvezda service module. Because the station’s life support system and other onboard sub -summitm are interconnected, NASA is checking all available data, including these dates, the agency consider a new target launch date to ensure that the station has some tasks to stay before the beginning to support more crew.
NASA has delayed the historic Axiom Mission 4 to ensure that the ISS systems are ready for the international crew.
According to NASA UpdateThe decision to stand down was made as part of the standard operation so that the readiness of all systems could be verified ISS To accommodate the additional crew. The Zvezda module on the board, which is central to maintain life and propulsion, was recently served. Because the space station is such a combination system, the agency is getting additional alert, the mission requires longer than normal on technical data before giving green lights.
East NASA Astronaut Pagi Whitson is serving as director of the human spaceflight of Axiom, leading to significantly important orbital missions. He is part of the crew along with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) as well as the pilot and two mission experts with astronaut Sukhanshu Shukla-Leos Uznoski-ENEVSSCI (Poland) and Tibor Kapu (Hungary). It is a great operation in space, international cooperation, and it is a great credit for all the countries involved.
While astronauts live in quarantine at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and dragon spacecrafts are reported to be prepared in the launch Complex 39A and being prepared for flight when a new launch date is established when a new launch date is established. Postponing is a precaution, but one that underlines NASA’s crew safety and priority of mission success.
NASA and its colleagues have emphasized the symbolic and scientific importance of the mission – its impact not only on the involved nations but also on the future of commercial space travel. A new date and time for launch will be determined will be completed at the readiness of the station to host the crew in the ongoing evaluation.
