Finally The Wait is Over, NASA’s First Space Tourism Mission To Launch On 3rd April

Everyone who has a little interest in space has dreamt of going into space and doing a free walk in space. Although attached to the spaceship through a rope, it’s a very sublime experience. NASA is going to help people to go into space on a tour.

How Will This Space Tour Be Carried Out?

The Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) missile, organized by Axiom Space Texas, was due to be unveiled at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, April 3 but the date was changed to Wednesday, April 6. It seems that the delay was caused by the ongoing preparations for Artemis I’s Nasa missiles at a nearby launch site.

Nasa teams support the Artemis I campaign ‘vote’ today to continue wet work, scheduled for Friday, April 1, until Sunday, April 3, at Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, ‘says the blog.

The Ax-1 team will be flying the Dragon Endeavor to and from the space station. After 10 days in orbit, the Ax-1 crew will disperse down the coast of Florida.

Nasa and SpaceX have also set a date for the target launch of the space SpaceX Crew-4 missions to the ISS to April 19th.

Who Are The First Space Tourists?

The Axiom Space-1 campaign will carry former Nasa Astronomer Michael Lopez-Alegria, Canadian investor Mark Pathy, American businessman Larry Connor, and former Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe who reportedly paid an estimated $ 55 million ( £ 42 million) each for a space trip, which will include a 10-day stay at the space station.

Astronomers will fly into space with a SpaceX Crew Dragon powered by orbit with a Falcon 9 rocket. As part of the final preparations for the Ax-1, Nasa will test the Falcon 9 rocket engines on Monday, April 4, two days before the launch.
The tourists will join the ISS after some of the workers are scheduled to return to earth tomorrow.

On Wednesday, NASA astronaut Vande Hei will return to Earth with a Russian spacecraft and two astronauts, Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov, who will spend about a year at the International Space Station.
