SpaceX to Launch First Crewed Polar Orbit Mission with Private Astronauts

SpaceX is set to launch "Fram2" the first human spaceflight over Earth's polar regions. This privately funded mission features a four-person international crew: mission commander Chun Wang (Malta), vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen (Norway), pilot Rabea Rogge (Germany), and mission specialist Eric Philips (Australia). During the approximately four-day journey, they will conduct experiments, including the first X-ray in space and cultivating mushrooms in microgravity, to advance research.
