Axiom-3 Crew Arrives at ISS, Increasing Total Onboard to 11

The all-European crew will conduct over 30 science experiments and participate in 50 outreach events during their stay.

The Axiom-3 crew, the first all-European commercial crew to head for the International Space Station (ISS), arrived safely at the orbital outpost on Saturday morning.
The crewmembers launched on Thursday from the Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule powered to orbit by a Falcon 9 rocket.
The arrival of the Axiom-3 crew brings the total number of people aboard the ISS to 11, representing 8 countries.
Over the next couple of weeks, the four new arrivals will conduct more than 30 science experiments and take part in some 50 outreach events with organizations back home.
Axiom Space is also aiming to build a commercial space station that could one day replace the ISS when the aging facility is taken out of service in about seven years from now.
