Happy Anniversary to the #Ax4 crew, @AstroPeggy, @gagan_shux, @astro_slawosz, and Tibor Kapu!

One year ago, the mission realized the return to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, with each country undertaking its first government-sponsored human spaceflight in over 40 years. It also represented the first time all three nations executed a mission on board the International Space Station (@Space_Station).

The Ax-4 crew successfully conducted more than 60 research activities utilizing microgravity to achieve new breakthroughs, along with 23 outreach events that inspired individuals from around the globe.

[Vast @vast]

Vast has signed agreements with @ucsdstemcell, Auxilium Biotechnologies, @LambdaVision, and @BioOrbitSpace to collaborate on the future of microgravity research and manufacturing conducted on our Haven stations. https://t.co/NJ6C7IKF6K
