Canadian entrepreneur Mark Pathy will join history’s first private crewed mission to International Space Station 26 January 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONTREAL, Canada – Mark Pathy will become the eleventh Canadian to go to space and the second to do so as a private astronaut. Pathy, CEO and Chairman of investment firm MAVRIK and Chairman of the Board of Stingray, is announcing today that he will be joining a historic private space crew on a 10-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Axiom Space Mission 1 (Ax-1). Houston-based Axiom Space today revealed the names of the crew members for what will be the first-ever fully private human spaceflight mission to the ISS. Pathy is a Montreal-based entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who serves on the Board of the Pathy Family Foundation and is also a member of the Boards and Executive Committees of the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation and Dans la Rue, an organization supporting at-risk and homeless youth in Montreal. “Space travel has been a lifelong dream, and I’m thrilled to be joining my fellow crew members for this historic first. I also look forward to dedicating some of my time on this mission to health research,” said Mark Pathy. “As such, I’m happy to be collaborating with the Canadian Space Agency as well as the Montreal Children’s Hospital who are helping me identify research projects that could be undertaken during the Ax-1 mission.” Mark Pathy will be joining Ax-1 commander and former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría; Israeli entrepreneur Eytan Stibbe; and American entrepreneur Larry Connor, who will also serve as pilot on the tentatively scheduled January 2022 mission.

NASA and Axiom Space - Ax-1 Mission
NASA and Axiom Space - Ax-1 Mission NASA and Texas-based company Axiom Space have agreed on terms for the first private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, which will launch around January 2022. The mission was announced on May 10, 2021, through a teleconference and the spaceflight, designated as Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) is expected to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and travel to the International Space Station. About Ax-1 Mission NASA has opened up the space station for commercial activities, including private astronaut missions, as part of its plan to develop a robust and competitive economy in low-Earth orbit. ● The spaceflight, named Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), is scheduled to launch no earlier than January 2022 for an eight-day mission aboard the orbiting complex ● The Axiom Space crew will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida ● NASA and Axiom mission planners will coordinate in-orbit activities for the private astronauts to conduct in coordination with space station crew members and flight controllers on the ground ● Axiom will purchase services for the mission from NASA, such as crew supplies, cargo delivery to space, storage, and other in-orbit resources for daily use. NASA will purchase from Axiom the capability to return scientific samples that must be kept cold in transit back to Earth ● For the Ax-1 mission, Axiom has proposed Michael López-Alegría, Larry Connor, Mark Pathy, and Eytan Stibbe as prime crew members. Significance of NASA-Axiom Mission ● The mission, dubbed Ax-1, marks a new milestone in NASA's continuing push to transition low Earth orbital activities to commercial entities ● Enabling Ax-1 is an important step to stimulate demand for commercial human spaceflight services so NASA can be one of many customers in low-Earth orbit About Axiom Space ● Axiom Space, Inc., also known as Axiom, is an American privately funded space infrastructure developer headquartered in Houston, Texas ● It was founded in 2016 by Michael T.

Axiom Space Reveals Historic First Private Crew to Visit International Space Station
Axiom Space reveals historic first private crew to visit International Space Station 26 January 2021 HOUSTON – Axiom Space on Tuesday announced its crew for humankind’s first flight of a group of private individuals to a Low Earth Orbit destination – the first-ever entirely private mission proposed to fly to the International Space Station (ISS). The proposed historic Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) will consist of: former NASA astronaut and Axiom vice president Michael López-Alegría as commander; American entrepreneur and non-profit activist investor Larry Connor as pilot; Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy; and impact investor and philanthropist Eytan Stibbe of Israel. López-Alegría, who flew to space four times over a 20-year, record-setting career at NASA and last visited the ISS in 2007, will become the first person to ever command both a civil and a commercial human spaceflight mission. Connor will be the first private mission pilot in the annals of spaceflight. Pathy will be Canada’s 11th astronaut. Stibbe, a close personal friend of Columbia astronaut Ilan Ramon and a former Israeli Air Force pilot, will be Israel’s second. Both will fly as mission specialists. “This collection of pioneers – the first space crew of its kind – represents a defining moment in humanity’s eternal pursuit of exploration and progress,” López-Alegría said. “I know from firsthand experience that what humans encounter in space is profound and propels them to make more meaningful contributions on returning to Earth. And as much as any astronaut who has come before them, the members of this crew have accomplished the sorts of things in life that equip them to accept that responsibility, act on that revelation, and make a truly global impact.
