Streszczenie

Abstract: The AXIOM-4 mission, with Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski on board, was scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral in early June 2025. The launch of the spacecraft was closely watched by a Polish delegation, which included representatives of key entities interested in the space sector, including the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine. Lieutenant Colonel Magdalena Kozak, also a physician, gives a colorful account of her stay as part of the delegation, introducing the reader to the realities of space flight.
