Which space startup will launch the first-ever all-private astronaut mission to the International Space Station?
A)
Axiom Space
B)
GHGSat
C)
LeoLabs
D)
Orbital Insight

Correct Answer : Option (A) - Axiom Space

Note :

The International Space Station (ISS) is set to become busier than usual this week when its crew welcomes aboard four new colleagues from Houston-based startup "Axiom Space", the first all-private astronaut team ever flown to the orbiting outpost.
 
The launch is being hailed by the company, NASA and other industry players as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space ventures collectively referred to by insiders as the low-Earth orbit economy, or "LEO economy" for short.
 
Weather permitting, Axiom's four-man team will lift off on Friday at the earliest from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, riding atop a Falcon 9 rocket furnished and flown by Elon Musk's commercial space launch venture SpaceX.
 
The launch was initially scheduled for Wednesday(April 6, 2022). An Axiom spokesperson said on Monday the delay would give SpaceX more time to complete pre-launch processing work.
 
If all goes smoothly, the quartet led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria would arrive at the space station about 28 hours later as their SpaceX-supplied Crew Dragon capsule docks at ISS some 250 miles (400 km) above Earth.
 
Lopez-Alegria, 63, is the Spanish-born mission commander and Axiom's vice president of business development. He is set to be joined by Larry Connor, a real estate and technology entrepreneur and aerobatics aviator from Ohio designated as the mission pilot. Connor is in his 70s but the company did not provide his precise age..
