NASA has chosen Axiom Space for its fifth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeting a January 2027 launch from Kennedy Space Center and a stay of up to 14 days. Axiom will provide four crew members to NASA for review, and NASA will purchase in‑orbit services from Axiom, including the ability to return cold-stored scientific samples, as part of NASA’s ongoing push to expand commercial activity in low Earth orbit ahead of Artemis missions.
