First Ever Privately Funded Spacewalk in Orbit
SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission is making history today with the first privately funded spacewalk. Led by billionaire commander Jared Isaacman, the crew is preparing for this groundbreaking event. Pre-spacewalk preparations include safety checks and crew members exchanging fist bumps as they gear up.
The mission involves testing a new line of SpaceX spacesuits in the challenging environment of space, with the crew venturing outside the capsule 400 miles above Earth. This ambitious mission will test the suit’s ability to handle extreme conditions while allowing full mobility.
