NASA astronaut will serve as the mission commander and provide guidance “during pre-flight preparation through mission execution,” read the update.Axiom Space was planning to send future missions without a NASA astronaut aboard, having four paying customers instead of three,Axiom's Ax-1 mission conducted several research experiments aboard the ISS, including the first two-way holoportation experiment in space and an EEG-enabled space helmet.
Ax-1 crew consisted of three wealthy investors and entrepreneurs: Larry Connor, Eytan Stibbe, and Mark Pathy, who had never been to space before. They were joined by Michael López-Alegría, Ax-1 mission commander and a former NASA astronaut. The group admitted that they were taken aback by the amount of work they had to do on the ISS.
In order to help the astronauts better adjust to the spaceflight environment, NASA will also require more time for the astronauts to practice microgravity before their launch.
