What is Polaris Dawn?
Polaris Dawn was a private space mission operated by SpaceX. Launched on September 10, 2024, this mission was the 14th time SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft carried a team into orbit. Isaacman and his three crew members, Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis, and Anna Menon, traveled farther from Earth than anyone since the Apollo program, reaching 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) away. During their journey, they passed through the Van Allen radiation belt to study the effects of space radiation on the human body. They also made history by performing the first commercial spacewalk.
