The Axiom Mission 3 crew, consisting of Italian, Swedish, and Turkish astronauts, arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) aboard SpaceX's Dragon Freedom craft. The crew includes @CommanderMLA, @WalterVilladei, @TURKastro, and @astro_marcus. Turkey's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravci, is part of the crew and will work on numerous experiments during their two-week stay. The Crew Dragon vessel and Falcon 9 rocket were supplied, launched, and operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX under contract with Axiom. The rendezvous with the ISS occurred about 37 hours after the quartet's liftoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
