The first chapter of a new era of commercial spaceflight is set to conclude a little later than planned as the four men flying Axiom Space’s mission to the International Space Station look to return to Earth splashing down off the Florida coast this week.

Bad weather gives private station crew more time in space

On April 9, 2022, four civilians made history as the first all-private "astronaut" team to reach the International Space Station (ISS).  Former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría and three first-time fliers, Mark Pathy, Larry Connor, and Eytan Stibbe — who each paid $55 million for the trip  — will spend eight days on the orbiting science laboratory. They are scheduled to return to Earth aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule on April 19, 2022.

Researchers conducting the first Israeli biomedical research on the International Space Station believe that Stibbe’s vision will not deteriorate during his short space flight.

On Monday, April 18, two Russian cosmonauts undertook the first of two spacewalks to activate the International Space Station's (ISS) new European Robotic Arm. NASA says the cosmonauts will do a second spacewalk. When will it be?

They're slated to parachute to a splashdown landing aboard their spacecraft Wednesday morning, according to NASA, if weather conditions allow.

The four members of an all-private crew are set to begin their return to Earth Tuesday after spending more than a week on board the International Space Station.
