SpaceX's historic Polaris Dawn mission has been delayed as the Elon Musk-led company focuses instead on the Crew-9 mission to the space station.
SpaceX has changed the target date for its historic Polaris Dawn mission. At the start of this month, the Elon Musk-led spaceflight company said it was targeting no earlier than July 31 for the mission, but it’s now shifted this to mid-to-late August.
Recommended Videos The Polaris Dawn voyage will see four nonprofessional astronauts fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft to an orbit about 435 miles above Earth. This will take it around 185 miles above the ISS, to a point further from Earth than any Crew Dragon has flown before. The five-day Polaris Dawn mission will also carry out research aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of spaceflight and space radiation on human health. It will also be the first to test Starlink laser-based communications in space as part of efforts to develop a future space communications system for missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond.
