The Crew Dragon spacecraft named Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station on Sunday evening, setting the stage to bring four private astronauts back to Earth.
...
The crew was originally scheduled to spend eight days docked to the space station, but the mission was eventually extended a week by poor weather in Dragon's landing zones around Florida.
...
The private astronauts each paid $55 million for their ride to the space station and accommodations there.While there have been a handful of private astronauts who have visited the space station during the last two decades, those missions were flown by the Russian government, with active cosmonauts commanding the flights.
Axiom hopes to fly up to two private missions per year as a precursor to building its own module to attach to the International Space Station in 2024.
