"Private Ax-3 Astronaut Mission Set for Jan. 17 Launch by SpaceX"

SpaceX is set to launch the private Ax-3 mission to the International Space Station on Jan. 17 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission, managed by Axiom Space, will send four astronauts, including the first citizen of Turkey to reach space, for a two-week stay. The crew will conduct over 30 science experiments during their time aboard the ISS. If the launch readiness review goes well, a Falcon 9 rocket will send the astronauts skyward aboard a Dragon capsule on Wednesday at 5:11 p.m. EST.
