It is the first in a series of private launches that will culminate in the first crewed Starship spaceflight.
The Polaris Dawn mission will launch a crew of four aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule sitting atop one of the private space firm's Falcon 9 launch systems. It will travel to orbit from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.in September 2021, which went down as the first-ever all-private orbital space mission.
"Orbiting through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt, Polaris Dawn will conduct research with the aim of better understanding the effects of spaceflight and space radiation on human health." The Polaris Dawn mission will aim to carry out the first commercial spacewalk in history. It will be performed at an altitude of approximately 435 miles , which is higher than the International Space Station's orbital apogee of roughly 250 miles from Earth's surface.Isaacman founded the Polaris Program to help advance human spaceflight and aid in the mission to get humans to Mars. Part of this will be the Polaris III mission, which is expected to launch aboard a SpaceX Starship rocket.
. The company designed it specifically to lower the cost of spaceflight in a bid to get humans to Mars.Isaacman also uses his space industry connections to help raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis and carry out other charitable missions. Near the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he specifically flew out to the countrythat helped in the reallocation of cancer patients who had been forced to flee.
What a rush! Today we trained for space on a zero-gravity parabolic flight. We tested some of our mission’s research experiments to fine-tune the operations & got a preview into the movement control needed to thrive in the space environment. It was a great way to learn!
