Axiom-4 Docking: Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), carrying India's Shubhanshu Shukla along with three other private astronauts from Poland, the United States and Hungary, is set to dock at the International Space Station (ISS) at 4.30 pm on Thursday. Houston-based Axiom Space successfully launched its fourth crewed mission to the ISS from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 12.01 pm on Wednesday, after nearly a month of delays and postponements.
Along with Shukla, aboard the spacecraft are mission specialists Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary; and commander Peggy Whitson of the United States, a former NASA astronaut who now works for the company Axiom Space.
After over 24 hours of orbital chase, the crew aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, riding atop a Falcon 9 rocket, is scheduled to dock with the space station on Thursday.
