The Axiom Orbital Segment is intended to have amenities including high-speed Wi-Fi, video screens, picture windows and a glass-walled cupola – which Axiom calls "the largest window observatory ever constructed for the space environment". [11] In December 2024, Axiom Space announced a change in their station assembly plans.
Axiom Mission 1 (or Ax-1) [3] was a privately funded and operated crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS).

Axiom Space won a 2021 bid process and was awarded a contract $140 million to build, and then attach, its modules to the International Space Station. [2] In December 2024, Axiom Space revised its station assembly plans to enable the autonomous operation of the Axiom Station after two launches, with only one module being attached to the ISS in ...
Orbital position vector, orbital velocity vector, other orbital elements. In astrodynamics and celestial dynamics, the orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) of an orbit are Cartesian vectors of position and velocity that together with their time () uniquely determine the trajectory of the orbiting body in space.
It was the third module launched to the station, and provided all of the station's life support systems, some of which are supplemented in the US Orbital Segment (USOS), as well as living quarters for two crew members. It is the structural and functional center of the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS), which is the Russian part of the ISS. Crew ...
