A Montreal businessman will join the first fully private space crew set to launch in just a few days.
Mark Pathy, entrepreneur and CEO of the investing and financing company MAVRIK, will serve as a mission specialist for Axiom Space, which on April 6 at 12:05 p.m. EDT will launch members of its Ax-1 crew from Florida to the International Space Station.
Pathy and three others will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and travel to and from the space station in a Dragon spacecraft.
"This close to launch, it's really exciting," he said during a press conference on April 1.
"It's been a really, at times, very intense year but incredibly stimulating, and the best is yet to come."
