Spacex shares the first views of the polar areas of Crew Dragon

Spacex just shared a video of Mission Fra2, which has become the first crew trip to take a polar orbit.

The shots (below), captured by a camera connected to the open nasal cone of the Dragon Dragon vehicle about 265 miles, features an amazing scene from the most areas of the planet. It also shows the Crew Dragon’s Cupola window that provides a dramatic panoramic view of the Earth.

The Fram2 mission, which was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, was funded on Monday, by Chun Wang, Chinese. Traveling alongside Wang is the Norwegian cinematic photographer Janekki Michaelsen, Australian polar explorer Eric Phillips, and German robotics engineer Rabia Rouge.

The polar orbit contains a 90 -degree mile, which means it is vertical on the equator. Unlike most space lighting, which follows orbits that avoid columns, the Fram2 path takes it directly across the polar areas, providing unique notes rarely sees by space sets. In other words, their views of the Dragon’s Crew Dragon will be significantly different from those crew on the International Space Station (ISS).

The task is expected to continue until the end of this week. While in the orbit, the crew will perform 22 research studies aimed at enhancing the capabilities of Astrontault for long -term space tasks, with data collection also to know how to travel on human health space. They will also spend a lot of their time sticking to Dragon Crew capsule in the lower gravitational conditions.

It is worth noting that after Splashdown, the crew plans to get out of the spacecraft without additional medical and operational assistance, an exercise that enables researchers to assess the ability of astronauts to perform non -assistant tasks at the end of the space mission.

This is the third Spacex mission that does not include a visit to ISS. The first was an inspiration 4 in 2021, followed by Polaris Dawn last year. Both were funded by American businessman Jared Ishaq, who was recently nominated by President Trump to become the next NASA president.
