"What do you hope to accomplish in the next 10 years?" is a familiar question, one often asked at job interviews or when starting a new company. was founded in 2016, so it's coming up on that 10-year mark — and the Houston-based company has already checked off a lot of boxes that were likely on its milestone list. "The biggest points of excitement for me are the missions, the spacesuit and the station," Tejpaul Bhatia, chief revenue officer at Axiom Space, told Space.
Axiom's fourth mission, Ax-4, is scheduled to launch no earlier than this October and will send another crew to the ISS for up to two weeks. Such missions, Axiom says, will continue to build knowledge and skills that contribute to the company's goal of building and operating the world's first commercial space station.
For example, the suit will need to be able to deal with the harsh and variable environments of the lunar surface, in addition to providing mobility and comfort. It also must be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures for a minimum of two hours. Once the design is finalized, testing will begin, to confirm that all NASA requirements have been met and the AxEMU is both safe and reliable.

Satellites in Low Earth Orbit Affected by Bad Space WeatherSatellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) can deviate from their expected trajectories when bad space weather occurs, causing problems for the International Space Station, China's Tiangong space station, and Earth-observing satellites. The accuracy of these satellites is affected by space weather, with the lower altitudes experiencing a bigger problem due to the variations in Earth's upper atmosphere density. Higher density leads to more drag, slowing down the satellites and causing them to sink towards Earth.
