Falcon 9 and Dragon at sunrise ahead of tomorrow’s launch of @Axiom_Space ’s Ax-4 mission
The image of the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft at sunrise is a stunning prelude to the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) launch, scheduled for no earlier than June 11, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. EDT (12:00 UTC) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission, organized by Axiom Space in partnership with SpaceX and NASA, will send four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for a roughly two-week stay, conducting over 60 scientific experiments. The crew includes commander Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut with a record-breaking 675 days in space, pilot Shubhanshu Shukla from India, and mission specialists Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. This marks the first ISS visit for astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary, and the maiden flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft C213, named with a nod to a plush swan zero-g indicator called "Joy." Weather conditions are 85% favorable, though high winds in the ascent corridor are being monitored. A liquid oxygen leak in the Falcon 9 booster (B1094) was identified post-static fire test but has been repaired. You can watch the launch live via SpaceX or Axiom Space webcasts, with coverage starting about two hours before liftoff.
