Clearly enjoying his temporary home base , Wendt apportion a long - exposure guess of himself taking full advantage of the microgravity circumstance . “ Time flies , ” he wrote in the post .

Another wide - angle crack mark Wendt ’s first week in space and shares some of the skill work that he ’s been mould on while in orbit .

Wendtarrived at the ISS with three other crewmemberson January 20 as part of Axiom Space ’s third private mission and first all - European voyage . The Texas - based company work with SpaceX and NASA to launch its first individual mission in April 2022 , then followed up with another one in May of last year .
During their sentence aboard the ISS , the Ax-3 crew are working on more than 30 science experimentation and taking part in more than 50 outreach effect with various organizations back on Earth . And one of the crewmembers is taking some pretty awesome photos , too .
