Watch the launch of ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski to the International Space Station on Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4). The mission is called Ignis.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from launch pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, on 10 June 2025. Sławosz will fly as a mission specialist on the Dragon spacecraft. The other Axiom 4 crew members are Shubhanshu Shukla from India and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. They will fly under the command of Peggy Whitson from USA.

Sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT), and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), the mission will include an ambitious technological and scientific programme with several experiments led by ESA and proposed by the Polish space industry.
