SpaceX to fly over Earth’s Polar regions in historic first

In a historic first for space exploration, SpaceX will launch a crewed spacecraft to fly over the Earth’s Polar regions later this year. 

SpaceX confirmed on August 12, 2024, that in the first-time event, a four-person crew will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket and pass over the Polar regions aboard the Dragon capsule over a three-to-five-day mission. 

The commercial astronaut mission has been aptly named Fram2, after the Norwegian ship that ventured on expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions between 1893 and 1912.
