During this two -week mission, the effect of microgravity radiation will be seen on microscopic algae. How to react to Cyenobacteria on urea and nitrate. It will also be known. In this way the entire mission is dedicated to many types of experiments. Through this mission, the path of testing of new technology in space and their development will also be cleared.
What were the 3 missions before Axiom-4?
The fourth private mission of Axiom has been launched on Wednesday. Earlier in April 2022, 17 days of Acom-1 was launched. At the same time, in May 2023, 8 days of Acom-2 and in January 2024, the third mission of 18 days was launched.
