During the SpaceX Polaris Dawn tourism mission, the crew of the Dragon 2 capsule unfurled a flag with the UNITED24 logo.
The Ukrainian flag with the logo of the UNITED24 platform became part of a historic space event.
It was deployed as part of SpaceX’s first tourism mission, Polaris Dawn, led by ambassador, commercial astronaut and entrepreneur Jared Isaacman. The crew, which includes four civilian astronauts, unfurled the flag on the capsule of the Dragon 2 spacecraft.
The mission, which was broadcast live, included spacewalks. Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillies performed a series of maneuvers in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean before returning to the capsule.
The UNITED24 team expressed pride in participating in this event, which reminds of the importance of achievements in space and philanthropy on Earth.
“Two years ago, Jared supported Scott Kelly’s fundraiser through UNITED24, donating $100,000 for an ambulance. Today, thanks to him, the Ukrainian flag traveled in an elliptical orbit at a record distance from during the Apollo program – 1,400 km from Earth,” UNITED. mentioned.
The platform also expressed gratitude to Jared Isaacman and his staff for this important mission, which once again pushed the boundaries of what is possible and reminded the world about Ukraine.
It was earlier reported that the Crew Dragon spacecraft with four tourists on board was launched into orbit.
