NASA is making final preparations for its first spacetourism mission that will see three high-paying passengers spend 10 days aboard the spacestation.
NASA is just days away from launching its first space tourism mission to the International Space Station .
The groundbreaking Ax-1 mission, organized by Texas-based Axiom Space, will be crewed by Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy, American entrepreneur Larry Connor, former Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe, and mission commander Michael López-Alegría, a former NASA astronaut. Pathy, Connor, and Stibbe are reported to have each paid around $55 million to visit the station some 250 miles above Earth.
According to Axiom Space, the crew has spent hundreds of hours training for the upcoming mission, with careful attention paid to safety, health, ISS systems, launch site operations, and emergency protocols. Additional training has also been given for dealing with the more than 25 research and technology demonstration payloads that the visitors will be working on during their time aboard the station.
