European crew arrives at ISS on private mission

An all-European crew including Turkiye's first astronaut arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday on a voyage chartered by Axiom Space. Dubbed Axiom Mission 3, it is the company's third launch to the space laboratory and the first where all three of the paid seats were bought by national agencies, rather than wealthy individuals.
It arrived at the ISS, which flies around 260 miles above the Earth, after a journey of about 36 hours, according to Axiom Space's website. The team were welcomed with hugs by the seven crew members already aboard the ISS -- from Japan, Denmark, the United States and Russia.
