The Polaris Dawn mission aims to raise the orbit to 190 x 1,400 km, surpassing Gemini 11's altitude record, showcasing advancements in commercial space exploration.
Despite delays caused by weather and technical issues, the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission launched successfully, demonstrating resilience and innovation in crewed space missions with new spacesuit technology.
The mission, commanded by Jared Isaacman and flown on Crew Dragon Resilience, is set to feature a commercial spacewalk, marking a significant advancement in private space ventures.
Two astronauts will perform the EVA, a pivotal technology demonstration, as the Crew Dragon lacks an airlock, requiring cabin depressurization for the spacewalk.
