SpaceX confirmed that all systems for starting Axiom Mission 4 are “looking good” because NASA, Axiom Space and SpaceX are preparing for an elevator on Wednesday 2:31 EDT (noon) for the fourth private astronaut mission at the International Space Station (ISS).
In the paper on Tuesday (local time) SpaceX noted that the weather conditions are 90% favorable for the planned start on Wednesday evening.
“All systems look good for Wednesday’s start of Axiom Space AX-4 at the International Space Station and the weather is 90 percent favorable to Liftoff,” SpaceX said.
The Axiom-4 mission will be launched from the Launch Complex 39A in NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The mission is of great importance for Indian cosmic skills, because SpaceX Dragon will be piloted by the Indian captain of the Shubhanshu Shukla group after starting on the Falcon 9 missile.
For the captain of the Shukla group, this will be the opportunity to imitate the commander of Wing Indian Indian Air Force Officer Wing Rrakesh Sharma, who flew aboard the Soyuz T-11 April 1984 as part of the Soviet Intercosmos program and became the first Indian in space.

The group captain will now rewrite history because it is ready to become the second Indian in space and the first to visit the ISS.
The four -member crew, which was in the quarantine in Florida, will be commanded by Peggy Whitson, former astronaut NASA and now the director of the human space flight Axiom Space.
Mission specialists are the astronaut Esa Project Slawosz aidanski-Wisniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary.

The AX-4 is an important milestone because it brings India, Poland and Hungary back to a human space flight, each country has been performing its first government mission in more than 40 years. Although it is just the second human mission Spaceflight in history for each nation, the AX-4 will be the first time all three of the missions on board the international space station.
For the Indian space agency ISRO and the captain of the Shubhanshu Shukla group, the mission is a critical step towards developing the ambitions of the country’s space. It lays down the stage for the first Indian mission for human space flights, Gaganyaan, scheduled to start at the beginning of 2027, and supports the longer -term goal of the Indian astronaut to the Moon by 2040.
