On March 31, SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch its sixth crewed space mission (Fram-2) on April 1, which will be the first human polar orbit flight mission. This mission will last 3 to 5 days. It is expected to launch from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, at 11:20 Beijing time on April 1, 2025.
The mission will involve 4 astronauts: F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun, Yannic Mickelson, Rabeya Rogue, and Aneric Phillips. Wang Chun's team has self-funded nearly $200 million for this flight plan, marking the first privately contracted polar orbit mission in commercial spaceflight history. Wang Chun will serve as the mission commander.
The spacecraft will enter a 90-degree polar orbit at an altitude between 425 and 450 kilometers. It will orbit along the polar trajectory, flying from the Earth's South Pole to the North Pole, and then returning from the North Pole to the South Pole, repeating this pattern.
