A historic mission is preparing to fly from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Monday night. Four for the first time astronauts will launch a spacex Falcon 9 rocket and a polar orbit on the head.
Malta residents Chun Wang are funding the orbital polar campaign and Norwegian cinematographer, will fly with Jennic Mikelsen; German Arctic Robotics Researcher, Rabia Rose; And Australian Polar Guide, Eric Philips.
The liftoff of the mission is set for the dubbed Fram2, 9:46 PM EDT (0146 UTC). If necessary, there are three backup opportunities during the 4.5-hour launch window, which ends at EDT (0626 UTC) on Tuesday, 1 April at 2:26 pm.
Spaceflight will now start live coverage about two hours before the liveoff.

Entering the launch occasion, the 45th weather squadron estimated a 60 percent possibility for a favorable season at the window opening, which improves up to 75 percent by the end.
Meteorologists have written that the window opening may still be present with a storm near the space coast.
Launch weather officials wrote, “In addition, an upper-tier cirrostratus cloud deck, which is connected in the front, will introduce a thick cloud anxiety, especially at the end of the launch window,” Launched meteorological authorities wrote. “Thus, primary concerns are cumylas cloud rules and flights that occur through sluggish convection, for greater shifting of a thick cloud layers for maximum shifting is a matter of concern for T -0, in which the overall possibility of violation gradually decreases in the window.”
Kiko Donchev, vice -president of Launch for SpaceX, said on Friday that he was giving a similar challenge to launch to experience with the Polaris Dawn Flight last year.
“This mission is slightly more challenging than the mission of a general crew, when it comes to launching availability,” Dontchev said during a teleclassity about the mission on X. “Because it is a free flight and we are not going to the space station, we need to predict weather not only the weather on the launch site, the architect track, but we have to move forward in the recovery field.”
Falcon 9 rocket supporting this mission will be launched for the sixth time in SpaceX Fleet. This will be the second time that this booster launched the crew in class after a crew -9 flight for the International Space Station in September 2024.
The Fram2 mission is the first time that a booster with five previous flights has launched a astronaut mission.
The Spacex crew crew drama dragon resilience is flying spacecraft. After the launch of Crew -1, Insopiation 4 and Polaris Don, this will be the fourth journey of space.

The destination of these four astronauts for its 3.5- to 5-day mission leads them to the polar orbit at 90 degrees tilt. Although this is not the most inclined to the mission launched from the space coast (which will be Essa 9 Catellite in 1969, per astronomer Jonathan McDowell). It will be the highest bends blowing by humans.
“Interestingly, the nearest astronauts have ever come to fly in a true polar orbit (90 degrees tilt) The original Soviet Vostok and Vosahod Cosmonots (including Yuri Garin) were in the early 1960s – and they fly for about 65 degrees for only 65 degrees.” 1990. Now, in the spirit of investigation, Fram2 will take another bold step for mankind. ,
Mikelsen, an award -winning cinematographer is responsible for capturing the experience through a variety of cameras in full flight. He said that this is a marquee moment for human spacefall.
“My first and immediate idea: We are leaving the planet Earth. We are running an epic campaign to be the first human in a polar orbit, the last limit of human exploration in the orbit of the low Earth,” he said. “We are the new generation of astronauts.”
During the mission, the crew will conduct a suit of 22 science experiments and technology performances. These include glucose regulation, mushroom enhancement and using the effects of spacecraft on fertility health of women.
