Saber Astronautics and Axiom Space have agreed to facilitate Australian astronauts’ future participation in missions to the International Space Station.

Saber Astronautics plans to use this agreement to build up interest with human space flight and space-based research.

The agreement will allow Australians to keep their Australian citizenships in their training to become astronauts, eventually leading to Australian astronauts entering space and having access to the international space station’s facilities.
