Happy Birthday to Axiom Space! We've spent eight years pushing the boundaries of science & tech, orchestrating four private astronaut missions, developing the next-gen spacesuit, and constructing the world's first commercial space station. We’re excited for the future as we continue #BuildingForBeyond!
Axiom Space was recently awarded $57.5 million from NASA to make this 4G/LTE network modification to the lunar spacesuit for the Artemis III mission, building upon its first Artemis task order in 2022, valued at $228 million.

Crawl down memory lane 💭NASA’s crawler-transporter 2 has supported many eras of spaceflight, traveling between its parksite, launch pads, and the Vehicle Assembly Building. Today, the crawler traveled its 2,500th mile! 🗺️ For reference, 2,500 miles is approximately the driving distance from the @NASAArtemis launch site, Launch Complex 39B at @NASAKennedy in Florida, to the base for Artemis recovery operations, Naval Base San Diego in California.
Odometer reading: 2500Congratulations on 2,500 miles (>4,000 km) crawler-transporter 2! Not too bad for a 59 year old.
