TL;DR Summary

Axiom Space plans to build its own space station in low Earth orbit, with the first module scheduled for launch in 2026. The company is using data from its crewed missions to the International Space Station to inform the design and function of its own modules. Axiom aims to provide maximum value to its passengers and is determining where that value will be, whether in microgravity research or space manufacturing. The company is also working with NASA to ensure its space station meets current requirements and has a vision for the future of private space stations.
