When is the next Florida launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral It was the fourth astronaut mission for Axiom Space, which is working to build one of the many private space stations planned in the next decade after the ISS is deorbited. The crew is expected to reach the ISS no earlier than 7 a.m. June 26. The four will spend two weeks onboard the space station where they will oversee 60 science experiments. These experiments include a project which will investigate glucose monitoring and insulin onboard the ISS. Depending on results, findings could make it possible for individuals with diabetes to fly in space. Currently, those with diabetes are disqualified due to medical unknowns. Another test by Booz Allen Hamilton, a technology company, will oversee biometric readings on a crew member using the Oura Ring. This project looks at analyzing and storing readings such as sleep quality and heart rate. Other experiments will look at cancer growth, how the space environment impacts human perception, as well as plant nutrition and growth in space. Once the mission is complete, the crew will splash down off the coast of California, where SpaceX recently moved its Dragon recovery operations. The Axiom launch was the first of a planned doubleheader on the Space Coast, with a SpaceX Starlink launch set for Wednesday afternoon. Brooke Edwards is a Space Reporter for Florida Today.
