Four private astronauts were sent into orbit on March 31 aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft as part of the historic Fram2 mission, the first human spaceflight over the Earth’s polar regions. Notably, none of the crew members have been to space before.

The Falcon 9 flew right into a 90-degree circular orbit. In the 64 years of humans launching to space, this has never been done. Now this record-breaking crew will spend three to five days in orbit circling above the North and South Poles before splashing down off the coast of California − another first for SpaceX human spaceflight.
