A SpaceX rocket launched Monday from Florida on a mission named Fram2, designed to take human astronauts into an orbit over both of Earth's poles. This trajectory enables full observation of the planet as it rotates below, making it important for weather tracking, mapping, and surveillance. Despite the mission not being groundbreaking from a scientific standpoint, it attracts attention due to its unique private funding by investor Chun Wang, who assembled a team of astronauts to accompany him on the journey lasting three to five days.
The SpaceX mission, the first to send humans into orbit over Earth's poles, offers opportunities for research while highlighting the role of private funding in space exploration.
Financed by Chun Wang, a blockchain investor, the Fram2 mission underscores the growing interest and participation of private individuals in human spaceflight endeavors.
