The Hungarian in Orbit (Hunor) programme said in a post on social media that preparation began in August 2024 at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre in Houston, where Ax-4 crew members underwent intensive instruction and practical training.
The astronauts practised operations, emergency procedures, and performing scientific experiments in realistic models of the International Space Station modules.
The program was complemented with special modules provided by Axiom Space and SpaceX training, during which the crew members focused mainly on the Dragon capsule.
The Ax-4 astronauts have now entered the final phase of their preparation, as their launch is scheduled for May 2025 at the earliest.
