Happy Anniversary to the #Ax4 crew, @AstroPeggy, @gagan_shux, @astro_slawosz, and Tibor Kapu!
One year ago, the mission realized the return to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, with each country undertaking its first government-sponsored human spaceflight in over 40 years. It also represented the first time all three nations executed a mission on board the International Space Station (@Space_Station).
The Ax-4 crew successfully conducted more than 60 research activities utilizing microgravity to achieve new breakthroughs, along with 23 outreach events that inspired individuals from around the globe.

With @Axiom_Space and @SpaceX, we're now targeting Wednesday, June 25, to launch #Ax4 to the @Space_Station.
The four-member crew, including astronauts from @ESA and @ISRO, is scheduled to lift off at 2:31am ET (0631 UTC). Learn more about the launch: go.nasa.gov/4k5gbbe

Exciting news! Today, NASA and @ISS_CASIS announced major funding for five new cancer research projects aboard the @Space_Station.
Under @POTUS and @VP's Cancer Moonshot initiative, we're harnessing the power of space to end cancer as we know it. go.nasa.gov/3WJ61ot

The orbital complex was flying 263 miles above the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean when this photograph was taken.

The Biden-Harris Administration is all systems go for ending cancer as we know it.
I was over the moon to join @SenBillNelson and @NASA astronauts to discuss the @ISS_Research being done on cancer and how it will fuel our mission to cut the cancer death rate in half in 25 years.

How do stem cells take out their trash? Thrilled to share our new @CellStemCell paper uncovering an unusual protein recycling pathway used by young HSCs to maintain proteostasis & self-renewal. But the pathway shuts down during aging & impairs HSC fitness. cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…
