Axiom Space Offers VR Experience of Axiom Station during IAC Special Session
Axiom Space today debuted an innovative session at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris providing a virtual tour of Axiom Station, the world’s first commercial space station.
Making use of Axiom’s industrial and design and engineering models, Axiom leaders used virtual reality technology to guide the audience through an interactive video of Axiom’s in-production space station.
Outfitted with headsets and projecting their field of vision onto a large screen for the audience, Axiom leaders Chief Technology Officer Matt Ondler, Executive Vice President of In-Space Manufacturing Christian Maender, and Chief Astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, demonstrated design features of the company’s commercial space station. The first module of Axiom station is currently planned for launch in the mid-2020’s to attach to the ISS.
In collaboration with her colleagues, the session was created by Dr. Mary Lynne Dittmar, Chief of Government and External Affairs, who welcomed the audience and worked with the team to answer questions. Axiom’s industrial and VR designers Kelsey Kim and Corey Smith were on hand and highlighted Axioms’ innovative methods of design and development.
