- Flying at a higher altitude than the International Space Station, the mission aims to gather scientific data on human performance in zero gravity and advance future deep-space exploration.
- The four-person crew expressed confidence and excitement after extensive training, with Dr. Sian Proctor specifically advocating for a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive future in space.
