In Paris, Axiom Space and The Exploration Company entered into a Cargo Services pre-booking agreement for space transportation and logistics. We will work together on the critical architecture needed to support human space exploration onboard #AxiomStation.

A PRIVILEGE
With every passing day I become more aware of the privilege it has been to simply be a part of this effort. - @CommanderMLA

TAKING COMMAND💫
🛰️What if we built the next low Earth orbit destination?
🚀What if we flew precursor missions to the ISS?

Holding the record for most total spacewalks gets a little blurry.

A PAIR OF SPACEWALKS
So I was EV-4, the second guy on the second team... and it was phenominal.

NASA Spacewalks are mind blowing achievements of choreography. The Russians on the other hand...

If the last one went to 'Ten', this next one's going to 'Eleven'. MLA has made a career of finding that next gear.

Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the historic Axiom Mission 1. #Ax1 was the first private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. The Ax-1 crew included Commander Michael López-Alegría, Pilot Larry Connor, and Mission Specialists Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy. We will build on this flight heritage with #Ax5.

Axiom Space Project Astronaut modernizes the way we train astronauts here on Earth to live and work beyond our planet. As @Emilventura_ says, “You can watch the space age unfold, or you can help shape it.” Matching the wisdom of astronauts with expertise in human training we find a better way to adapt to the microgravity environment. Using the lens of a physiologist, we can improve safety and performance for future space missions. Emiliano has already shown what's possible with the program. “It’s a dynamic and immersive experience.” #AxPA #ForEarth

Congratulations to #TeamAxiom on securing @Axiom_Space's fifth human spaceflight mission to the @Space_Station! Go #Ax5!
Michael L-A retweeted
It's an honor to be entrusted by @NASA to conduct our fifth commercial human spaceflight mission onboard the @Space_Station. Axiom Space has sent 14 astronauts, representing 11 nations to the station in the past 4 years, with crews conducting 160+ research and 100+ outreach activities. We are #BuildingOpportunity for countries around the world to access microgravity for discovery and inspire others to #TranscendEarth. None of this would be possible without the trust of our customers, partners and the hard work of #TeamAxiom.

The #AxEMU provides mobility never seen before. Building on the legacy of the Apollo-era spacesuits, the AxEMU is built to equip the Artemis III astronauts with better flexibility and increased safety, allowing further discovery on the lunar surface and exploration of the Moon’s south pole for the first time. Learn more about how the #AxEMU is the spacesuit of the future: axiomspace.com/axiom-suit.

Rest is as important as endurance training. Having good company doesn’t hurt either. @Emilventura_, @CommanderMLA and I enjoyed some down time by taking in the sights in Rome, Italy, before Space Flight Readiness Training with the @ItalianAirForce. When in Rome! #AxPA

As part of the Axiom Space Project Astronaut, @Emilventura_, @AstroPeggy, and @CommanderMLA traveled to Rome, Italy, for the first training activity: Space Flight Readiness. Flying a jet generates G-forces similar to spaceflight, a crucial component of astronaut training. Emiliano and Peggy both flew a T-346 with the Italian Air Force (@ItalianAirForce) to simulate the intense, dynamic conditions of spaceflight. #AxPA
