Jared Isaacman is set to lead the first private space walk, testing SpaceX's new suits on the Polaris Dawn mission, which plans to explore farther than any crew since Apollo.
The extravehicular space suits designed for increased mobility feature a mask display that shows crucial internal pressure levels and temperature, enhancing the astronaut's operational capabilities.
The Polaris Dawn mission is particularly risky as it involves flying through a radiation belt. This poses significant challenges to the crew's safety and the mission's success.
Isaacman’s team plans to launch within approximately 30 hours once a favorable weather forecast is received, signaling the crew's readiness despite earlier delays.
