"Axiom-3 Crew Returns to Earth After Long-Duration Mission"

The Axiom Mission 3 crew joined the International Space Station (ISS), making it the first all-European crewed mission to the Station, bringing the total number of astronauts aboard to 11. The crew will conduct over 30 science and research experiments in microgravity before returning to Earth. Additionally, various experiments are being conducted to prepare for longer-duration missions to the Moon and Mars, including studies on plant growth, microbial environment, and the effects of microgravity on neurodegenerative diseases. The crew is also testing new technologies, such as the Smart Flight Suit 2, and participating in maintenance tasks and outreach projects.
