Washington, Apr 20: The undocking of the Axiom-1 first all-private manned mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has been postponed, the Axiom Space company said in a statement.
“Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we are waving off tonight’s undocking of the AX1 mission from [International] Space Station,” the statement said on Tuesday.
Axiom Space, NASA and SpaceX teams are assessing the next best opportunity for the return of the Axiom-1 mission, the statement added.
On April 8, Axiom-1 crew members – Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria of the United States and Spain, pilot Larry Connor of the United States, mission specialist Eytan Stibbe of Israel and mission specialist Mark Pathy of Canada – successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket aboard the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft on its third flight to the International Space Station.
The crew was tasked with completing more than 25 science experiments in a microgravity environment on the INternational Space Station.
