Axiom Space was founded to extend human settlement into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) through the design, launch and operation of the world’s first internationally available commercial space station, building on the pioneering work of the International Space Station (ISS) to make LEO access truly global. The Axiom Station is designed to be the primary destination for governments, international astronauts, researchers, and manufacturers seeking to leverage space for research, discovery and profit.
