Jun 27, 2025

New York [US], June 27: For the first time an Indian, a Hungarian and a Pole have arrived at the International Space Station (ISS).
A Crew Dragon capsule carrying the three astronauts and former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson docked at the ISS on Thursday at 1031 GMT, according to the US space agency NASA. The capsule had been launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket operated by Elon Musk's space company SpaceX just under 30 hours earlier.
The Ax-4 mission had been postponed several times due to technical problems with the rocket and the ISS. This is the fourth commercial space mission for Houston-based Axiom Space, in collaboration with the US space agency NASA and SpaceX.
While Whitson has been in space several times, this is the first space flight for the three amateur astronauts.
