The Axiom-2 crew splashed down successfully

The four-person Axiom-2 crew aboard the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft safely splashed down off the coast of Florida on 30 May. This concludes the second all-private astronaut mission to the International Space Station.

The crew includes Axiom Space’s Director of Human Spaceflight and Commander Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut, Pilot John Shoffner, and Mission Specialists Ali Alqarni and Rayyanah Barnawi, from the Saudi Space Commission (SSC). Both are members of the inaugural Saudi national astronaut class.  

The astronauts spent eight days aboard the ISS and orbited the Earth 126 times.
