The Polaris Dawn mission, two years in the making, aims to advance human health research and exploration in space, featuring a first-ever spacewalk for a private mission.
Polaris leader Jared Isaacman emphasized the uniqueness of the mission, stating, "We are going to vent the vehicle entirely down to vacuum. There's no airlock on Dragon."
The mission will see four astronauts undertake an ultra-high orbit mission, focusing on experiments related to human health in space, showcasing the shift towards scientific research.
The crew includes experienced individuals trained through extreme activities, with Poteet noting, "The crew spent some 2,000 hours in a simulator, practicing scenarios from nominal procedures to emergency actions."
