Miami, Apr 9 (EFE).- The Ax-1 space mission made history this Saturday as the first completely private mission to arrive at the International Space Station (ISS), where its four astronauts will be received in about two hours, once the necessary tasks are carried out on board.
The Dragon Endeavour, with four astronauts from the Axiom company, the Hispanic-American Michael López-Alegría, the American Larry Connor, the Canadian Mark Pathy and the Israeli Eytan Stibbe, on board, arrived and was attached to the ISS at 12:40 p.m. GMT.
The ships used by the Ax-1, a Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon Endeavor capsule, belong to SpaceX, Elon Musk’s company, but the Texas company Axiom is responsible for the expedition. EFE
