NASA has delayed the launch of its first space tourism mission by several days and so it will now get underway on Wednesday, April 6.
The Ax-1 mission, organized by Texas-based Axiom Space, was supposed to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, April 3, but the date has been shifted to Wednesday, April 6.
For Ax-1, three amateur astronauts will fly aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft powered into orbit by a Falcon 9 rocket. Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy, American entrepreneur Larry Connor, and former Israeli Air Force pilot Eytan Stibbe have reportedly paid around $55 million each for the trip of a lifetime, which will include a 10-day stay aboard the space station.
As part of final preparations for Ax-1, NASA will conduct a static fire test of the Falcon 9 rocket engines on Monday, April 4, two days before launch.
