As the International Space Station gets closer to its planned deorbit, a new era of commercial space stations are getting ready to begin theirs. Out of all these different companies, Axiom Space has the most aggressive schedule with initial segment launches starting in 2025. By now, the company has already made a lot of physical progress on the station and its various components.
Just days ago, we received an update on the main segment’s construction process and some of the parts that need to be completed. Axiom Space’s future station has a very unique opportunity in that NASA has allowed the company to initially attach station segments to the International Space Station. This is a big deal that allows Axiom much more freedom and time to build it up before it separates and officially becomes its own station.
In regard to this, the Ax-2 mission is right around one month away which intends to expand access to the International Space Station (ISS) and low-Earth orbit. Here I will go more in-depth into some of the recent construction progress on Axiom Station, the importance of connecting to the ISS, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
