SpaceX Fram2 Mission Advances Polar Space Exploration and Radiation Research

The first human spaceflight over Earth's poles is conducting groundbreaking experiments on human health, radiation exposure, and atmospheric phenomena.

Fram2, launched on March 31, 2025, is the first human space mission to explore Earth's polar regions, following a unique south-to-north orbital trajectory.
The four-person crew is performing 22 experiments, including the first human X-rays in space, studies on muscle and bone health, and monitoring biological responses to radiation.
NASA and TRISH are analyzing radiation exposure data from the mission to develop countermeasures for future deep space travel, such as Mars exploration.
The mission is also capturing footage of polar phenomena like auroras and STEVEs, while testing oyster mushrooms as a potential space crop.
Fram2 honors the legacy of polar exploration by carrying a piece of the original Fram ship, symbolizing a new era in scientific discovery and private spaceflight.
