"With his training complete, astronaut Kapu is ready for the mission. Hungary can once again prove its perseverance and commitment in this scientific programme," Orsolya Ferencz said.
Hungary's government has adopted Hungary's space strategy, including the Hungarian in Orbit (HUNOR) program, designed to act as a catalyst for scientific achievements.
The astronauts are now studying the technical equipment of the spaceship and the ISS, and the spacesuits are also being tailored specifically for them.
Hungary will send the next Hungarian astronaut to space on the Ax-4 mission.
Hungary had spent over 25 million euros on space research this year alone.
Hungary is getting ready to send an astronaut to space again under its Hungarian to Orbit (HUNOR) program.
Hungary will send an astronaut to the ISS, with the cooperation of US-based Axiom Space, for a 30-day research mission at the end of 2024 or in early 2025.
