"First Turkish Astronaut Joins International Space Station Crew"

Four astronauts, including Turkey’s first, arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) for a two-week stay as part of a mission organized by Axiom Space. The crew, launched by SpaceX, will conduct scientific experiments focusing on the effects of spaceflight on human health and disease. This marks Turkey's first human spaceflight and is part of Axiom's efforts to cater to foreign governments and private patrons aiming to put their own astronauts into orbit.
