Riyadh : Two Saudi astronauts are now expected to travel to the International Space Station on May 22, after the trip was postponed by two weeks.
Rayyanah Barnawi, the first Saudi woman astronaut, and Ali Al Qarni were scheduled to launch on May 9, but the flight to the ISS was disrupted after another launch was delayed last month.
They are part of the Axiom Space 2 mission, which also includes former Nasa astronaut Peggy Whitson and American pilot John Shoffner.
