SpaceX has successfully launched four crewmembers to the International Space Station (ISS) in Axiom Space’s privately funded Ax-4 mission.

A SpaceX vehicle carrying four astronauts on a private mission for Axiom Space is on its way to the International Space Station.

On Wednesday, four space explorers from four countries launched on a brand new SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, and as the first "Dragon riders" for this vehicle, the Axiom Space Mission-4 (Ax-4) crew selected a name for the spacecraft worthy of spaceflight.
