The Polaris Dawn mission will be a test and developmental program of new spaceflight technology, ushering in a new era of commercial space exploration when SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launches the program’s first mission. This milestone mission will include testing a next-generation spacesuit during the first commercial spacewalk; endeavoring to achieve the highest altitude of any human spaceflight mission since the Apollo program; and testing a new communication system using Starlink.
There will be a special on-orbit reading of a children’s book, Kisses from Space, written by a crewmember; and much more. The four crewmembers will also use their approximately five days on-orbit to conduct nearly 40 critical health research experiments, all while raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.
