A SpaceX capsule with four astronauts on the private AX 4 mission raced through the earth's atmosphere early Tuesday and corresponded to the California coast with a splash in the Pacific Ocean in front of San Diego and described 20 days in space.

The new suits are designed in such a way that astronauts are safe and flexible because America tries to restart its moon exploration.

The return to dawn, the parts of Southern California with a sound boom just before 2:31 a.m. PT, ended the fourth private mission of Axiom Space to the international space station, where it was docked for 18 days.

The industrial area based in Houston, Texas, works with SpaceX for trips to the ISS and coordinates with NASA for the use of the ward for your astronauts. AX-4 was withdrawn from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 25th.

During this flight, the crew of four first first:

  • They flew with the maiden voyage of SpaceX's latest capsule named grace.
  • The commander Peggy Whitson extended her cumulative period in space to 695 days by a US astronaut. Now the veteran of the former NASA astronaut of Axiom Space made her fifth overall dream trip.
  • It was accompanied by astronauts from India (Pilot Shubhanshu Shuckla), Poland (mission specialist Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski) and Hungary (mission specialist Tibor Kapu) to AX-4.
  • Axiom Space Notes It was the first time in four decades that “these nations launched national astronauts in space – and for the first time they lived and worked their astronauts on board the international space station.”

During the ISS, the AX-4 crew carried out about 60 scientific experiments and research studies. The company says that it is the previous “most researched and scientific activities” on an axiom space flight.

This was the 18th time when Spaceex brought people into orbit. The next mission of NASA, Crew-11, the next mission of Starbase, the next mission of the Texas mission, is to be launched from the Kennedy Space Center from the station in the Space Station in a few weeks.
