"Turkish Astronaut Joins SpaceX's AX-3 Mission to ISS"

SpaceX successfully launched Axiom Space’s third private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, with a veteran former NASA astronaut and three astronauts from European governments aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft Freedom. The mission, known as Ax-3, aims to gain experience in spaceflight operations as Axiom Space prepares to install commercial modules on the ISS, which will later form the core of a standalone commercial space station. The spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the ISS on January 20 and will remain docked for about two weeks before returning to Earth with its four-person crew.
