SpaceX Launches First Crewed Polar Orbit Mission

SpaceX successfully launched its first manned mission to Earth’s polar orbit under the “Fram2” mission. The Dragon spacecraft, carried by a Falcon-9 rocket, took off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center with four civilian astronauts, including cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang.

The crew will orbit at 422 km altitude, crossing the North and South Poles multiple times over 3 to 5 days. They will conduct 22 experiments to study human health and performance in space. The mission will conclude with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near Southern California.
