Packed Schedule of Science and Outreach
The Ax-4 crew will tackle the largest science load ever flown on an Axiom Space mission, carrying out cutting-edge research, educational outreach, and commercial projects during their stay. Their experiments will leverage microgravity to advance knowledge in biology, materials science, and technology.
