SpaceX to launch 1st Saudi woman to space on private Ax-2 mission
The mission will spend eight days docked to the ISS, team members said today. That's a slight change from the previous plan, which had called for a 10-day ISS stay. If Ax-2 can't get off the ground on Sunday, it has another chance on Monday . If the mission misses that backup opportunity, however, it will have to wait a while to get to space: NASA and SpaceX will then shift toward preparing for the launch of CRS-28, SpaceX's 28th robotic cargo mission to the ISS, which is slated to lift off from KSC on June 3.
"And then, at that time, Axiom, NASA and SpaceX will get together and look for the next best opportunity as we look at the missions that we have this summer," Joel Montalbano, manager for NASA's International Space Station Program, said during today's telecon. and SpaceX's Crew-7 mission, as well as"other missions that use the pad facilities at Kennedy Space Center," Montalbano said.
