SpaceX

A SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four private astronauts arrived at the International Space Station April 9. The launch of the first mission in the history of astronautics with a fully commercial crew onboard was carried out under a contract with the aerospace company Axiom. Each ticket cost space tourists around $55 million. The four are scheduled to spend eight days on the ISS conducting research and performing other commercial activities and outreach.

South Korea has signed a contract with SpaceX to launch five spy satellites by 2025, with the first launch on a Falcon 9 rocket by the end of 2023. South Korea's military will be able to observe the nuclear-armed neighbor's key military facilities every two hours with 30-50 centimeters resolution imagery.
