Private space travel company Axiom Space is set to launch the first private astronaut mission today, heading to the International Space Station with help from NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) will go further than Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson did, and even further than Elon Musk's launch of the first civilian spaceflight through SpaceX.

The Ax-1 mission will see four trained civilians spending eight days aboard the ISS, conducting research projects and commercial activities. The big-spender crew is made up of pilot Larry Connor of the U.S., mission specialist Eytan Stibbe of Israel, mission specialist Mark Pathy of Canada, and led by former NASA astronaut and commander Michael López-Alegría.

So, what'll they be doing up there? Axiom previously revealed a microgravity research portfolio the Ax-1 crew intends to undertake in orbit in partnership with a variety of organizations on Earth. This research is sponsored by the ISS U.S. National Laboratory.
"The goal for the Ax-1 crew is to set a standard for all future private astronaut missions in terms of our preparation and professionalism," López-Alegría said. "As the commander, I am proud of the work these crew members have put in to be ready to conduct meaningful work on the International Space Station and glad to see them meet the standards required of all astronauts flying to station since Expedition 1. Ax-1 is focused on a huge amount of science and outreach activities, and we look forward now to finalizing that flight program."
How much did tickets for undertaking this research cost you ask? Oh, just $55 million per person.

So, if you're ready to watch this historic launch to the ISS, here's what you need to know.
Liftoff is scheduled for 11:17 a.m. ET on Friday, April 8 — it was pushed back from Tuesday. The dry dress rehearsal test and integrated static fire test of the rocket happened on Wednesday. The crew will board one of SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsules, which will be launched by a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA and Axiom will be covering the Ax-1 pre-launch and launch from 10 a.m. ET on Friday, as well as the docking and undocking operations. You can watch it live through NASA's YouTube channel, on NASA's website, or NASA's app.
You can also watch it on Axiom's own website or through SpaceX's website and YouTube channel.
Here's where it'll be on NASA's YouTube if you can't be bothered opening a new tab:
There was a pre-launch news conference to talk about final prep on Thursday, following the completion of the launch readiness review, if you want to really get into it.
Docking is scheduled for Saturday, April 9 at approximately 7:30 a.m. ET. NASA will be covering the docking at the ISS, and the hatch opening, and the crew welcome ceremony. Obviously these times might change but we'll keep this post as up to date as possible.
NASA is yet to announce when the Ax-1 farewell event will happen and what's planned for return coverage.
In the meantime, you can keep up to date with the mission through NASA's Twitter account, Axiom's Twitter account, and SpaceX's Twitter account.
