As we get closer to the scheduled launch of Axiom's first station segment in 2025, we are learning more about the exact plan for this commercial LEO destination. While Axiom gets the significant benefit of attaching to the International Space Station initially, they still have to leave before its retired. This puts somewhat of a deadline on the modules that are sent up and the order they attach to the station. As of right now, the plan is still to send at least four segments up to the station before 2030. These segments for the most part are all similar with the exception of interior outfitting and operational capabilities. With only so many segments, Axiom is working to ensure the station can be properly powered and support multiple astronauts for long periods of time. This is much easier said than done and when combined with the ISS connection, requires Axiom to stay on track in the coming years. Here I will go more in-depth into the design of this station and its initial segments, the significance of the ISS connection, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
