SpaceX Successfully Launches Historic Crewed Polar Mission

The Fram2 mission, led by private funding, embarks on groundbreaking scientific research to advance Mars exploration.

SpaceX launched the Fram2 mission on March 31, 2025, marking the first crewed spaceflight to traverse Earth's poles.
The mission is privately funded by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang and features a diverse crew of four non-professional astronauts.
Over 20 scientific experiments are being conducted, including the first X-ray imaging in space and mushroom cultivation in microgravity, to support future Mars missions.
The crew underwent eight months of rigorous training, including exercises in Alaska, to prepare for the three-to-five-day mission.
The Fram2 mission highlights SpaceX's vision of commercial space exploration and developing technologies for interplanetary travel.
