Axiom Space is going where no private space company has gone before: the International Space Station. On Monday, February 28, the company detailed the AX-1 mission, the first-ever private mission to the ISS, currently slated to launch on March 30 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. But Axiom wants to make one thing clear before they go: The AX-1 crewmembers are private citizens but they are distinct from other private space endeavors, like Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic.
