Samsung’s The Wall selected for private astronaut dinner
Samsung’s microLED display has been used to present to ultra-high net worth individuals who are considering training to become private astronauts.
Ultra-high net worth individuals interested in what it takes to train as a private astronaut have been shown just what they could expect to see on a space mission on a Samsung The Wall microLED display.
The presentation on the weekend of the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix took place at an Axiom Space Astronaut Dinner organised by the My Yacht Group and Axiom Space which is to train private astronauts for missions to the International Space Station.
The guests heard from four-time astronaut commander Michael Lopez-Alegria who will soon leave the planet for a fifth voyage as commander of AX-1, Axiom’s first private astronaut mission to the ISS which is scheduled for early 2022.
Technical support at the Samsung Lounge, which hosted the guests, was provided by superyacht AV specialist BondTM.

The latest dinner in Monaco is part of an ongoing series of Axiom Space Astronaut Dinners held around the world. Axiom Space, which has been granted access to the ISS port by NASA, has assembled history’s first private International Space Station crew who will launch a node module, research, and manufacturing facility, crew habitat, and large-windowed Earth observatory aboard an “Axiom Segment” of the ISS.
In addition, Axiom has entered into an agreement with NASA to train and fly professional, and private, astronauts to the ISS on 10-day private astronaut missions, where space tourists will train alongside professional astronauts. The training programme is designed for optimal preparation and minimal schedule disruption.
