Two Crew Dragon tourists went into outer space for the first time in history

The Falcon 9 rocket carrying SpaceX’s Crew Dragon launched on Tuesday, September 10.

Two crew members of the American reusable spacecraft Crew Dragon, launched into orbit with four tourists, walked in outer space on Thursday. We are talking about billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Saru Gilley, said the development company SpaceX.

As part of the commercial mission Polaris Dawn, for the first time in history, a private spacewalk was performed by non-professional astronauts.

In addition to Isaacman and Gillis, the ship’s crew included retired US Air Force Lt. Col. pilot Scott “Kidd” Poteet and SpaceX medic Anna Menon.

Polaris Dawn is the first of three planned missions in the Polaris program, funded by Shift4 Payments CEO Isaacman. The flight was initially planned for December 2021, but due to delays in the development of the project, it was repeatedly postponed.

The Falcon 9 rocket carrying SpaceX’s Crew Dragon as part of the Polaris Dawn commercial mission launched Tuesday from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida.

According to SpaceX, during the flight the Crew Dragon multiple spacecraft completed six orbits around the Earth at an altitude of 1,400 km, the highest altitude flight since the US manned lunar program. Apollo more than 50 years ago. It then descended into an orbit of 742 km in preparation for a spacewalk by non-professional astronauts.

We previously wrote that the Crew Dragon spacecraft with four tourists made six orbits around the Earth at an altitude of 1,400 km, which is the highest flight since the American manned lunar program. Apollo more than 50 years ago.
