Houston-based company Axiom Space, a leader in commercial human spaceflight and architect of the world’s first commercial space station, and the Swedish National Space Agency, along with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA), have signed a letter of intent to send an ESA astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS) on an upcoming Axiom Space mission.
This historic agreement between ESA, Sweden, and Axiom Space represents the realization of over a decade of work done by U.S. policy makers, international partners, and the commercial industry to ensure the long-term development of a vibrant ecosystem in low-Earth orbit that will benefit every human everywhere.
