U.S.-based Axiom Space is considering new international rocket options for its upcoming missions to the International Space Station (ISS) as the company expands partnerships with global space agencies. This includes ongoing discussions with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), aiming to diversify its launch capabilities beyond its current reliance on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets.

Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) is part of this initiative and will feature astronauts from Poland and Hungary alongside former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson. This mission highlights Axiom’s commitment to fostering international cooperation in space exploration. These talks signify a significant step towards integrating diverse launch vehicles into Axiom's operations, enhancing its ability to contribute to global space initiatives
