Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we are waving off tonight's undocking of the #Ax1 mission from Space Station. The integrated Axiom Space, NASA and SpaceX teams are assessing the next best opportunity for the return of Ax-1, the first all-private mission to the ISS.

With Axiom-1 return now TBD, Crew-4 launch date will almost certainly slip. But, as always, wait for official word from Axiom, NASA, and/or SpaceX.

Due to unfavorable weather forecasts, we are still assessing when it's safe to bring the #Ax1 mission home from the Space Station. A new #Crew4 launch date will depend on this. Stay tuned for updates from us, Axiom Space and SpaceX.
