Axiom Space’s Post

Axiom and other companies are gearing up for the not too distant future when humans travel between orbiting stations and celestial objects - Moon, Mars... But we have not ramped up the off world workforce system which will require thousands of 'space ready' people in all careers, from Med Techs, RNs, and Drs to Construction and Manufacturing Trades, QC and Auditing, Emergency Response Techs, Communications and Installation Techs, Physical and Mental Gealth Therapists and so much more. We need to begin training these folks now in Analog settings so we are ready for Go when the hardware and infrastructure are done. Axiom Space let's get ahead of the curve!

🚀SpaceX Falcon Heavy successfully launched NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Psyche mission from Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A in Florida. It was a remarkable fourth launch for the side boosters, which have previously powered USSF-44, USSF-67, and Hughes JUPTER 3 missions. The Psyche spacecraft embarks on an unparalleled journey to study a metal-rich asteroid, aptly named Psyche, nestled between Mars and Jupiter. This mission allows NASA to delve deeper into our solar system's history by studying the nickel-iron core of an early planet - reminiscent of our own solar system's nascent stages. 💫 Also noteworthy is NASA’s debut test of the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) system that enables high-bandwidth optical communication in deep space. This major milestone sends us surging ahead in our understanding of the cosmos. #space #innovation #NASA #SpaceX

Axiom Space and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration have announced plans for the fourth private mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The signed order for Axiom Mission (Ax-4) was revealed with an expected launch date no earlier than August 2024. Axiom space has contracted SpaceX for its fourth mission as launch provider to and from the ISS via the Dragon spacecraft. The Ax-4 crew will train with NASA, international partners, and SpaceX in preparation for their flight furthering the efforts of low Earth orbit commercialization.

#Artemis 2 is the second scheduled flight of the Artemis program and the first crewed Artemis mission. Artemis 2 will include three #astronauts from #NASA and one from the Canadian Space Agency. NASA commander Reid Wiseman, NASA pilot Victor Glover, NASA mission specialist Christina Koch and CSA mission specialist Jeremy Hansen will fly around the moon before returning to Earth. The roughly 10-day-long mission is tentatively scheduled to launch in November 2024. Artemis 2 will use the huge Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion spacecraft to launch the crew on the lunar flyby mission. The astronauts and mission controllers will collect data on Orion and the crew's performance to assess how ready the Artemis program is to send people to the #moon's surface.

Above Space advances propulsion System for 2024 free flying orbital mission providing micro-g and dynamic environments at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Center Above: Space Development announced the successful test of its proprietary propulsion control system for its Prometheus free-flying orbital mission by Q4 2024. All tests performed as expected. The scalable Prometheus will include three regulated voltage rails and up to 29W of continuous power. It will also feature an integrated thermal control system, bus Integration and up/down links for communications and data. "Together with our test partner at NASA, Above: Space successfully validated our proprietary propulsion system which will be used to maneuver our 150U Prometheus payload platform next year," says Rhonda Stevenson, chief executive officer of Above: Space. "We plan to be the first mission to offer stabilized micro-g and dynamic environments and already have significant demand from commercial customers in our mission." #Space #Orbitalmission #NASA #SpaceCenter #Spacemission https://lnkd.in/eSuAKpvm

Why do we use Analog Missions? Analog missions prepare us for near-term and future exploration to asteroids, Mars, and the Moon. Analogs play a significant role in problem solving for spaceflight research. #spacemedicine #analogmissions #Research #nottraining #notastronauts #misleading #researchsubjects https://t.co/86hDcUdTeY
