providers to utilize the International Space Station (ISS) as a destination for private astronaut missions. Private astronaut missions to the ISS would be pathfinders to demonstrate and stimulate demand for future commercial destinations. Enabling private astronaut missions to the ISS could also potentially increase the US crew vehicle transportation customer base which could drive down transportation costs for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits of private astronaut missions to the ISS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Allows commercial industry the ability to gain insight into the costs associated with owning and operating a future commercial low Earth orbit economy destinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduces market risk to commercial low Earth orbit economy destination developers by demonstrating the market (i.e. non-government human missions to low Earth orbit economy are a key market element for future commercial low Earth orbit economy destinations)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expands range of commercial activities that can be performed on ISS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential to increase flight rate and reduce costs for access to low Earth orbit economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For news releases and announcements related to private astronaut missions, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/commercial-space\/low-earth-orbit-economy\/low-earth-orbit-economy-latest-news\/\">Latest News page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-story width-full maxw-full bg-carbon-05 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-story\">\n\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block padding-y-9 padding-x-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-right-5 margin-bottom-6 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"subtitle-md\"><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"display-48\">Ax-3 Mission Targets Undocking for Tuesday<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"heading-18 line-height-md\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-md\">NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX continue to target no earlier than 9:05 a.m. EST Tuesday, Feb. 6, for the undocking of Axiom Mission 3 from the International Space Station following the latest review of weather conditions off the coast of Florida.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nasa.gov\/spacestation\/2024\/02\/04\/ax-3-mission-targets-undocking-for-net-905-a-m-est-on-tuesday\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">\n                        Learn More <span class=\"usa-sr-only\">about Ax-3 Mission Targets Undocking for Tuesday<\/span>                    <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-left-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"width-full display-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/iss070e075556.jpg?w=1536\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536\" alt=\"The SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft carrying the four-member Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3) crew is pictured approaching the International Space Station 260 miles above China north of the Himalayas.\" style=\"transform: scale(1.1);
