The first private space crew to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) will pay $55 million each for the trip.
The crew includes American entrepreneur Larry Connor, Canadian businessman Mark Pathy, and Israeli businessman Eytan Stibbe. They will be led by Michael Lopez-Alegria, who used to be a NASA astronaut and now works for Axiom Space, the Houston company that organized the trip.
"This is the first private flight to the ISS. It’s never been done before," said Axiom's president Mike Suffredini.
While Lopez-Alegria is well-known in the space industry, "the other three guys are just people who want to be able to go to space, and we’re providing that opportunity," Suffredini told The Associated Press.
He said that Axiom Space "couldn't be happier" with the people they have in the first private space crew because they're all very interested in space.
The crew will spend eight days at the space station, and it will take one or two days to get there on a SpaceX Dragon rocket, which will leave from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Each of the private astronauts had to pass medical tests and will get 15 weeks of training, according to Suffredini. The trip is being planned for January 2022.
