The UK Space Agency has signed an agreement with a US company called Axiom Space to develop a space mission carrying four astronauts from the UK. The flight would most likely use the SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle and travel to the International Space Station (ISS).
The crew is expected to include reserve and active astronauts recently selected by the European Space Agency (Esa), but they will be funded commercially. There are also reports it could be commanded by the recently retired Tim Peake.
