Timeshifter is proud to provide circadian guidance to help the Axiom Space Ax-4 astronauts perform at their best:
In a stunning night launch from Kennedy Space Center, the Axiom Space Ax-4 crew soared into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. This historic Axiom Space mission marks the first time astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary are heading to the International Space Station!
Legendary astronaut Peggy Whitson returns to space as Commander of the Ax-4 mission. A former NASA Astronaut and now Axiom’s Director of Human Spaceflight, Whitson has spent 675 days in space — more than any American or woman in history.
When planning a mission to the space station, timing is everything – timing the launch, the flight, when to dock, and complex crew schedules. These decisions depend on many external factors such as technical considerations, orbital mechanics (the path that the spacecraft needs to follow to meet the ISS at the right place), variations in the weather, and crew schedules. Timing is also a key factor in ensuring the astronauts are at peak performance. This is where Timeshifter becomes a key partner.
