Axiom Space

Axiom Space develops modular commercial space station infrastructure and operates private astronaut missions to the International Space Station. The company is constructing Axiom Station, starting with the Payload, Power, and Thermal (PPT) module, followed by the Hab-1 and Hab-2 habitation modules, an airlock, and a Research and Manufacturing Facility. These components are designed to attach to the International Space Station before separating to operate as an independent, free-flying facility. Axiom procures launch services through SpaceX Crew Dragon for its private astronaut missions, which deliver government astronauts, commercial researchers, and private individuals to low Earth orbit for microgravity research and technology demonstrations.

Based in Houston, Texas, the company operates an assembly and testing facility at the Houston Spaceport and partners with Thales Alenia Space for the manufacturing of primary pressurized structures. Axiom also produces the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit, which was selected by NASA for the Artemis lunar surface missions and is being tested in Earth orbit for future moon landings. The company serves a global customer base including sovereign space agencies, pharmaceutical firms, and materials science companies. Business operations include end-to-end mission management, astronaut training, and the provision of on-orbit research platforms as a service.
