Axiom Space has announced a revised launch date for the Axiom Mission 4, which will include Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s journey to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission, repeatedly delayed, is now scheduled to lift off on June 25, 2025, at 2:31 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew will travel aboard a new SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, with docking at the ISS planned for approximately 7 a.m. on June 26. The mission is expected to last up to 14 days. The mission was initially slated for June 11, then postponed to June 19 and 22 due to detected leaks during inspections. Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson will lead the mission, with Shubhanshu Shukla serving as the pilot. Other crew members include Slavoj Uznanski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary as mission specialists.
