Hungary has finalised its agreement with US-based Axiom Space and will send the next Hungarian astronaut to space on the Ax-4 mission, the ministerial commissioner for space research said.
Orsolya Ferencz said the Hungarian research astronaut would spend 14 days on board the International Space Station conducting experiments that would advance Hungary’s space industry.
The exact date for the mission start will be determined later by Axiom Space and NASA, she added.
The Hungarian astronaut picked for the mission, along with his backup, will soon start mission-specific training in the US, Ferencz said.
