Axiom Space @Axiom_SpaceWhen on orbit, astronauts have a unique vantage point that offers an entirely fresh perspective of our planet. The #Ax4 crew honed their camera skills, learning techniques and skills to prepare them for capturing images during their mission.
A Falcon 9 will launch the Axiom-4 spaceflight participant mission to the International Space Station from pad 39A on June TBD around 4 a.m. EDT. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 20 at 2:32-6:32 a.m. EDT.
The #Ax4 crew is targeted to launch no earlier than June 22 at 3:42 AM EDT from Launch Complex 39A at @NASAKennedy. Tune in for the launch broadcast starting at 1:35 AM EDT.
The change in a targeted launch date provides NASA time to continue evaluating space station operations after recent repair work in the aft (back) most segment of the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module.
SpaceX is targeting no earlier than Sunday, June 22 for Falcon 9’s launch of Axiom Space’s Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch is targeted for 3:42 a.m. ET, with a backup opportunity available on Monday, June 23 at 3:20 a.m. ET.
Axiom Space @Axiom_SpaceThe #Ax4 crew remains in quarantine in Florida to maintain all medical and safety protocols. The crew is in good health and high spirits and looks forward to launch! https://axiom.space/Ax4LaunchUpdate

NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX continue reviewing launch opportunities for Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station. NASA has made the decision to stand down from a launch on Sunday, June 22, and will target a new launch date in the coming days.The space agency needs additional time to continue evaluating International Space Station operations after recent repair work in the aft (back) most segment of the orbital laboratory’s Zvezda service module. Because of the space station’s interconnected and interdependent systems, NASA wants to ensure the station is ready for additional crew members, and the agency is taking the time necessary to review data.NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX appreciate the historic nature of this mission for the nations of India, Poland, and Hungary, as well as the world. The crew remains in quarantine in Florida, and the astronauts stand ready to launch when the station is ready to receive them.
NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are standing down from launching Axiom Space’s Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) on Sunday, June 22 from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A new launch date will be shared once available.
(from summary of presser)• [22:47] If Ax-4 is delayed there are launch opportunities "all the way through June 30th" with a brief cutout during Progress undock.
