According to PANews, SpaceX is set to launch the Fram-2 mission from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1, 2025, at 11:20 UTC+8. This mission marks the first polar crewed flight in human history and is expected to last between three to five days. Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, has personally funded nearly $200 million for the mission and will serve as the mission commander. He will be joined by Yannick Mikkelsen, Rabeya Rogue, and An-Eric Phillips.
The spacecraft will enter a polar orbit with an inclination of 90 degrees, reaching an altitude between 425 and 450 kilometers. It will travel from above the South Pole to the North Pole and back. During the four-day mission, astronauts will conduct 22 experiments, including the first X-ray examination of the human body in space, providing crucial data for space medicine research. The mission will be carried out using a Falcon 9 rocket, with its first stage making its sixth flight.
