'Joy,' a plush baby swan, will launch with Axiom Mission-4 crew as zero-g indicator

When an international astronaut crew lifts off on a commercial space mission this month, they will be joined by a स्वैन, a łabędź or a hattyú.

Or, in English, a swan.

The Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) astronauts, including American commander Peggy Whitson, Indian pilot Shubhanshu Shukla and mission specialists Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary, chose a plush baby swan named "Joy" as their zero-gravity indicator.

It is a Joy to say our ZGI has arrived. I trust it bids no ill will to display it before the mission.
