Private astronauts of Axiom Space began learning about space station systems and procedures in preparation for their planned stay aboard the orbiting laboratory. The mission is scheduled for no earlier than January 2022. For the Ax-1 mission, Axiom is proposing López-Alegría, Larry Connor, Mark Pathy, and Eytan Stibbe as prime crew members.
