This launch is currently planned to occur sometime in 2024. Afterward, three more segments of the station will also be launched and attached. The Axiom segments will separate from the ISS and remain in orbit once the ISS is retired and returns to Earth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"345\" data-attachment-id=\"9676\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/2021\/01\/04\/axiom-space-is-creating-the-first-commercial-space-station\/axiom-space-station-interior\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" data-orig-size=\"518,345\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Axiom-Space-station-interior\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=518\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg 518w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?resize=350,233 350w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?resize=140,93 140w, https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/01\/Axiom-Space-station-interior.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A sneak peak of the interior design of Axiom\u2019s private space station Image: Axiom Space<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what Axiom had to say on the ambitious project: \u201cTwenty years after astronauts first began to live and work aboard the ISS, Axiom offers you the ability to traverse the sublime reach of space and fulfill personal goals of a philosophical, philanthropic, scientific or commercial nature \u2014 and help open a new chapter in human history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-9672',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to note that Axiom has plenty of experience in space leading up to this pivotal project.
