The construction of the world’s first commercial space station is underway. Following completing preliminary and critical design reviews in collaboration with NASA, our partners at Thales Alenia Space began welding and machining activities for the primary structures of Axiom Station's first module. The first pieces of fabricated flight hardware are beginning to come together, and the assembled module will join us in Houston soon, where we will complete the final assembly and integration. Axiom Space is preparing for a 2026 launch of the first section of our next-generation platform that will operate in low-Earth orbit.

Bigelow Aerospace was just a decade too early… Had working hardware on orbit *YEARS* before there was human launch capability to reach them. Axiom seems to have their timing just right.
Bigelow's efforts aren't wasted though, with where the tech is owned now, there's still a future for the BEAM hardware. Here's hoping you're right, and Axiom can get this assembled and flying, in the 'if you build it, they will come' mode.

Bigelows space stations was just a front to get investors in so he can go hunt aliens and shit at skinwalker ranch.
A company will buy Bigelow. The indlatable hab module technology is gonna become valuable soon and whoever buys the company will have a huge head start.
@@lambo6012 IIRC, already been sold.
Interesting tidbit - this place is actually in the old Fry's Electronics store that's right down the street from NASA in Houston. The whole place was decorated to look like a space station and even had a mockup of the ISS inside. If you've been before back when it was Fry's, you can even recognize the ISS still in there in a few shots. Pretty cool that it went from just being a decoration to an actual space station company!
Very poetic, indeed!
Yup. Right after Fry's announced their closure, Axiom, who were already looking to expand their office/workspace, contacted Fry's to purchase the building along with the ISS mockup before the liquidation started.
No way, it’s in Fry’s now? That’s the most perfect building possible!
There shouldn't be a US in-space crew gap. 22 years of uninterrupted human presence. Thank you for closing that gap and continuing the dream. #NoGap
Amen
I love that Axiom Space is using the old Fry's Electronic store near JSC.
For those unaware, Fry's (before they went out of business) had a custom "hook" for each store. The one in Webster/Clear lake had an area made up to look like a space station. And now one is really being designed there.
This is amazing! I can’t wait to see the station’s assembly begin. Efforts like this really inspire hope for the human future in space. Go Axiom!!
I really really appreciate how the aerospace companies have been showing us (the masses) how its going, where are you at with your hardware, whats your company philosophy. It lets us get excited for you and for the future! Thank you very much.
Just LOVE that observation module!! It would be surreal to experience!!
It’s crazy yesterday I kept looking up the axiom station and couldn’t find much just to find this today.
I'm so excited to watch this company grow in space!
so the plan is to build onto the ISS and then restructure and separate when it gets decommissioned or earlier?
Yes, the ISS sustains the Axiom station until it can be detached to go on its own. Axiom has a NASA contract to provide more station modules for the ISS and it will be the first of hopefully multiple commercial space stations. NASA is funding the Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) program to provide more than just Axiom station.
Where is a spin-gravity testing module in the timeline? We know pure microgravity is bad for humans long term now but don't know how little is needed to maintain health.
Under-rated comment. Longer term presence on the moon's surface will actually go a long way towards answering this question.
A LOT more tech and capabilities are needed for that. Artemis plans missions on the Moon that are a month or more long, so that is likely to be the first sustained partial gravity experience.
Axiom won't really be worrying about that because it's not there primary goal but Vastspace is interested in testing artificial gravity, there space station is launching in 2025
You can look it up if you want
Love the mission! Crazy to think one day asking if someone is an astronaut is synonymous to asking have you ever been overseas
thatd be like calling anyone who’s been overseas a sailor or a pilot. More likely they’ll just be called “people who’ve been to space” lol
@@lchi1234 exactly. that's why it's synonymous with the question. Generally I assume Astronaut will become like a military title
@@DylanHedger ohhh you meant overseas as in military. My bad lol
Watching the future of space flight before my eyes, truly inspiring.
If you want a test person for this, im there for you everytime
Incredible project, I wish the best for you and I'm proud that a part of this space station is built in Italy!
The Columbus, Tranquility, Harmony and Cupola modules of the ISS were also built there
@@qdaniele97 yes, I know! 🤩
This looks so fricking cool, it's like the ship from 2001 being made into reality. Awesome stuff!
This is such a great time to be an AeroEng student. The future is exploding (in a good way 😂)
Hey explosions are cool too -fellow AeroEng student
@@beagle_uah aeroeng student, fan of explosions and a fellow KSP enjoyer? Truly a man of great culture! 🤣 🧐
Cant wait! Great job crew. We are in desperate need for a new SS, not a spaghetti nest of a space station. Just make sure you build ports for Sierra's inflatable habitats. Everything is coming together. Thanks so much!
i got the chill. I'm so pump. Big Big fan of axiom! 2026 can't come fast enough.
You bring tears to my eyes. I'm so inspired by what your company is doing. I was worried that things would come to an end when the ISS is done. Please keep up the good work and make Axiom Space Station a success.
Kept the coolest parts of the Fry's electronics building I see 😊
Pretty diverse group and a wide range of ages, big brains come from everywhere, glad to see hard working folk get a chance to change the future.
You are building my dreams. Please continue.
Yea, Axiom can thank Elon for changing the paradigm for spacecraft design. Nobody had the guts or the motivation to do rapid prototyping and testing before SpaceX showed everyone it was possible, and they were fat dumb and happy getting cost plus contracts to take 30 years to build a new spacrcraft or launch system. I am glad there are so many companies adopting the more sensible path pioneered by Musk, using mostly his own money.
I think rapid prototyping and testing has its benefits, especially when compared to the old sluggish manner in which aerospace development used to be conducted, but it's certainly not a 'more the better' situation nor is it a comprehensive solution to delays, and the last thing I'd do would be fanboy over Elon Musk.
Very good :)
Look forward to seeing more of the design and construction going forward.
I love your build it and try it approach as well as the build it in one place to keep control of it philosophy. You and SpaceX do that so well.
OMG this is so cool!!!! I would absolutely LOVE TO BUILD NEW SPACE STATIONS!!! An honestly right now I'm trying my hardest to get to that point.
Bummer to see delays, but looking forward to this being in space!
Looks like a good team, and I love the focus on iteration. Good luck, guys!
We need a sport that is played in microgravity. Axiom.
Build a zero G arena and they will come.
Will the Earth Observatory be called "The Blossom"?
Looks more complex than I thought, and I actually have a good imagination. Wondering when the real space stations will start: too big to launch, even with Starship. Orbital assembly was part of Werner vonBraun's vision, as was reuseability. Both ditched by NASA.
If we ever make big homogenous designed space stations, I can still see these Meditation/Observation™ modules on all Axiom stations.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
This is no more complex than the ISS, just being built with modern hardware, and knowledge gained from building it originally. Some of the people in charge of Axiom ran the ISS, while Thales Alenia Space actually built modules for it too, and are now partnered with Axiom.
Keep in mind "ditched" would presume NASA wouldn't have kept the idea going if they actually had the funding for it. Blame Congress's short-sightedness, not NASA for having to make hard budget choices.
We need the average person to have a reason to go to space. Right now there isn't one. Once we have space hotels, space casinos, space football fields, basically things that people can come and do and experience, then there will be money that can be used to build larger stations
great video!
So exciting!! Go American designed and made, Go global collaboration, Go Axiom!!! 🥳🥳
Pressure management is amazing
One day, I want to work for Axiom.
What do you have to study to design spacecraft and spacestations?
man if they actually pull off that cupola on steroids that's going to be one of the most beautiful views any human will ever get to witness, however that's gonna be a little nerve-wracking being mostly just window, but if they use some type of projectile resistant material like bulletproof glass on earth it likely would help, but a pellet flying at orbital velocity would be devastating regardless of what it hits, thankfully not a super common occurrence and they will have planned for that i can only imagine, it's definitely going to have some type of airlock or emergency hatch incase of such issues. I love watching all the amazing stuff coming from Axiom, I truly hope to one day watch a video of folks on the Axiom station
"Barbara, could you come here real quick and put some water on the soldering sponge for our pr video? We need a professional to do it... And make sure to wear your lab coat! People need to see some real engineering!" xD I'm just joking, looks amazing guys, actually impressive!
The even have a Vulcan Astronaut @ 3:21 😮
I love your Star-Trek inspired uniforms.
cant wait to see it in space, keep up the hard work
The new international space station
Спасибо!😌
Very Cool! Amazing project!
The commercialisation of space has begun.
The Axiom is your luxury home. Wall-E.
I would love to work here after graduation.
Its cool how yall's operation moved into the former fry's building that is space station themed.
Love me a modern space race
1:29 FIRST Huma Rated Spacecraft Built in Houston at 9:45. But hey is FIRST. others will say the same but will say at 10:00 so we have two FIRST builds.
Safe flight when it happens!
Axiom will avenge Bigelow's vision!
Looks looks the Titan of space
Well, I'm excited!
So that means I can again start studying about AreoSpace Engineering
Just putting this comment here so when this company does epic stuff, i know i was here early on :)
what they all need to be doing is making gravity in space with out it where screwed unless it short flights
SPACE - the final frontier...
Hell yeah lets go
Impressive, most impressive.
Epic! 😎
Gen Z loves this, keep it up!
If you got the money, you can participate on a crew. Looks spectacular!
How big will the station become over time?
I remember a submarine company that followed this mindset
I certainly hope you didn't adopt the "build first, think later" attitude prevalent in SpaceX Starship program (but *not* what brought Falcon program to its present status of phenomenal success.) With a crewed outpost you cannot simply shrug off every disaster as "learning opportunity".
Good luck!
Think its more with regards to the visualisation of the design. CAD is all very good but doesn't give you a sense of space, scale or convienience. Only when you actually stand in a prototype do you apprieciate what it will be like to work/live in.
I think fast prototyping is beneficial in the early stages of a project, especially if the available resources allow it. SpaceX's approach with Starship has had moments where I've thought then lean too far into this mindset, and it ends up being sloppy and wasteful, but in other cases I think it's what has allowed the program to proceed with such haste. Bottom line treating test failures as learning opportunities can support a program which does not have a lot of groundwork or prior experience to draw from, but as it progresses you have to move away from this and be rigorous and thorough in development.
I’m getting Oceangate vibes from this “station.” 😂
There is a big difference between moving quickly from the design phase to focus on the testing phase and moving quickly from the design phase to the "send paying people to the bottom of the ocean without any testing phase" 😅
I hope you have experienced Weights Engineers on the team too. It's not just good enough to have good engineers.
Very exciting!
İstikbal göklerdedir demişti Mustafa Kemal bu gurur hepimizin olsun 🇹🇷
😅
Nice man
Is literally no one gonna mention that this is called AXION? (Like from WALL-E?)
As far as supply chain efficiency is involved, i wouldnt be bragging about getting custom made pieces from across the globe.
Is all of this just for space tourism?
No, NASA plans on leasing space on commercial space stations once the ISS is deorbited. Axiom has a NASA contract for the modules and NASA is funding the Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) program to provide more than just Axiom station.
I think it will serve the same purposes as the ISS, essentially its just a modern replacement.
I wonder how much to do maintain for the window opening it.
Now imagine the ability to build these in orbit. zero G construction. forging these huge monolithic pieces will be easier due to the lack of perceived gravity.
So when are y'all releasing the Axiom starliners?
Why on earth are you focusing on rockets? How do you have the time and resources for that? Why not just focus on the space station and rely on Starship as launch provider?
Oh I think those are just vacuum engines or rcs stuff
I want to look up and see the time written in space with lasers. Any chance team??
Pov: it's 2026 and it's time to launch the Axiom space station, and one the news they say " we're so excited to launch the FIRST commercial space station ", then all of a sudden someone that works for Vastspace burst in and says " Nah we already beat you and launched ours in 2025 "
*wall-e sounds intensifiy*
Awesome keep it up!
Inspiring Stuff!
Axiom has much better management than Bigalow
so how many years am i going to have to wait to be able to get up there, and how many dollars am i going to have to cough up to afford this?
Isnt Axiom the name of the spaceship where all humans live in Wall E?
Where is Wall-e?
Did the same production company do the origin commercial? Has the same feel but talks about making jeans in the US
What rocket are you going up on?
Will the station have artificial gravity? Is that a thing yet?
why you don't use metalic hydrogen powder for 100 less literally ?
Gr8
Will Axiom launch the modules up there themselves, or will they use a third party company like Space-X to do it? Will Axiom make spacesuits so they can go outside the modules, or is this meant for inside-only as of right now?
SpaceX will launch Axiom’s first module (and likely subsequent modules). Axiom is not in the launch business.
❤️🔥🇹🇷
Wall-E be like: 😳
i hope you've taken a lesson from he imaginary "BORG" - decentralized and redundant control systems! If you have problems in one part of the vessel, you don't lose functionality in the rest of the vessel!!!
in this decade and most likely the next one, we have to do everything to safe Life on Earth and to stop the war machine. All other amazing things to do are unfortunately worthless distractions and a waste of resources. Our situation and understanding of it has simply changed fundamentally in the last 2 years and particularly the last 2 months - written by one of the greatest supporters of the Space industry
Are those modules sized for Starship?
They are the same size as current ISS modules so no. They are 5 meter class.
So, who’s buying me a ticket?
Cool 👍
