A mission that will take us to space is approaching, SpaceX, Elon Musk's company is not content with just taking tourists to space, now it is about to achieve an unprecedented goal, sending the first private manned space expedition to fly over the poles of the earth .
Known as Fram 2, this extraordinary mission will be launched aboard the Dragon space rocket and promises to redefine the limits of orbital travel. Since humans began exploring space more than six decades ago, countless orbital missions have been carried out, but all They have been restricted to the middle latitudes of our planet, none to date have dared to directly cross the poles.
The Soviet Vostok 6 mission in 1963 came close to reaching an inclination of 65 degrees relative to the equator, but Fram 2 promises to go further; You may be asking why this has never been done before, the answer is simpler than it seems, there was no practical need, polar missions require much more energy since they cannot count on the additional boost of the rotation of the Therefore, missions of this type were generally limited to military operations or specialized mapping, but for the crew of Fram 2 the motivation is to do something that no one has ever done.
The name Fram 2 is a tribute to the legendary ship Frame that was used by explorers to venture into the Arctic and Antarctica between 1893 and 1912. Following this tradition of adventure, the Mission will be commanded by Chun Wang, an entrepreneur and adventurer from Malta, He will be accompanied by an international team, vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen from Norway, pilot Eric Philips from Australia and mission specialist Rabea Roggede from Germany.
Takeoff is scheduled for the end of this year, leaving Florida aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. For 3 to 5 days, the crew will orbit the earth at an altitude of 425 - 450 km, capturing unprecedented images of the polar auroras and carrying out pioneering experiments. as the first x-ray images of humans made in space.
It will be a mission that will not only challenge the limits of technology, but will also inspire new generations to continue exploring the mysteries of our planet and beyond. When the mission occurs you will see the images and details here, in this blog.
