According to international space news from ChainCatcher, SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch its sixth crewed space mission (Fram-2) on April 1, 2025, marking the first human attempt to enter a polar orbit. The mission involves 4 astronauts: Wang Chun, Yannic Mickelson, Rabeya Rogé, and Anéric Philippe.

Wang Chun is a Chinese-born entrepreneur from Tianjin who rose to prominence through Bitcoin investments (co-founder of F2Pool) and has been involved in multiple commercial space projects. This mission is self-funded by Wang Chun's team at nearly $200 million, becoming the first privately contracted polar orbit mission in commercial space history. Wang Chun is not only the mission's initiator and primary funder but will also personally serve as the mission commander.
