Update on 11 June 2025:
Mission update from SpaceX: "We are standing down from the June 11 Ax-4 launch date to the International Space Station to allow additional time for SpaceX teams to repair the LOx leak identified during post static fire booster inspections. Once complete – and pending range availability – we will share a new launch date."

Selected in 2022 from over 22 500 applicants to be one of the 11 members of the European Space Agency (ESA) 2022 astronaut class in the reserve pool, Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, former CERN engineer, will go to space on Wednesday.
Sławosz and his colleagues from the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew will take off on 11 June 2025 at 2:00 pm CEST* from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Dragon and the crew will dock the day after with the International Space Station (ISS), where they'll be spending up to 14 days.
Watch the live webcast of the launch here (from 11:55 am CEST): axiom.space/live. We also plan to show the live broadcast on the screens installed in CERN's restaurants and cafés.
