Comments on: Hungary to pay $100 million to Axiom for astronaut mission to ISS https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/hungary-to-pay-100-million-to-axiom-for-astronaut-mission-to-iss/ Thu, 24 Nov 2022 04:06:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Richard M https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/hungary-to-pay-100-million-to-axiom-for-astronaut-mission-to-iss/#comment-1369872 Thu, 24 Nov 2022 04:06:22 +0000 https://behindtheblack.com/?p=90398#comment-1369872 All told, the biggest obstacle right now to this new market is the number of ports on ISS. It seems Axiom has a strong incentive to get its own module launched and attached to ISS as soon as possible, if only to increase the docking ports available for these flights.

It’s suppposed to attach its first module to ISS by late 2024. Of course, new HSF hardware is the kind of thing where you expect some slippage to the right.

But if they can pull it off, it would certainly be timely for this.
