Crewed commercial SpaceX mission will traverse the poles like the explorers of old
A new commercial space mission will take off as early as this winter to observe the polar regions from low orbit — the first crewed mission to ever do so. It’s charmingly and anachronistically named Fram2, after the famous icebreaker used by Norwegian national hero Fridtjof Nansen to explore the arctic in the late 19th century. The mission is led and presumably funded by Chun Wang, an “entrepreneur and adventurer” active in the cryptocurrency space from the early days, now apparently using his ample time and wealth to travel the world and, hopefully, space.
