SpaceX launches Fram2, the first crewed spaceflight to explore Earth's polar regions
Briefly

SpaceX launched the Fram2 mission on March 31, with a crew exploring Earth's polar regions from a Falcon 9 rocket. At an altitude of 430 km, the Crew Dragon capsule enables rapid pole-to-pole travel and will aid in capturing essential footage of the polar environment. The three-to-five day mission includes 22 experiments focusing on human health in space, aiming to inform future long-duration missions. Crew members include notable figures from diverse backgrounds, with NASA highlighting this endeavor as a vital step in understanding human adaptation to outer space.
SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule can fly from the North to the South Pole in around 46 minutes, providing crucial observations of Earth's polar regions.
NASA called Fram2's launch a 'significant step' in humanity's understanding of how our bodies will fare in outer space, through groundbreaking experiments.
