Entrepreneurs in Space: Episode 3 - Axiom Space, Mike Suffredini

July 20, 2020 • Coalition for Deep Space Exploration • Season 1 • Episode 3

In this week’s episode of the Deep Space Podcast, Axiom CEO Mike Suffredini walks us through his transition from being NASA’s International Space Station manager to being a space entrepreneur, and what it takes to be in the space business. A firm believer in the immense importance of space exploration in the life of Earthlings, he speaks to the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration CEO and President Dr. Mary Lynne Dittmar about how his vision fits NASA’s plans for deep space exploration.

Just this year, Axiom was awarded a NASA contract to provide at least one habitable commercial module to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS), as the agency opens the orbiting laboratory for commercial use and ramps up deep space exploration. Suffredini discusses the different ways in which private companies can support a presence in low Earth orbit.
