On Tuesday, April 1, at 4:46, the Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket launcher 9, SpaceX, will send four private astronauts on board Crew Dragon. It is a historical mission of Fram2, during which for the first time in history people will turn around the poles of the Earth in a unique orbit.
The flight will be attended by: Chong Van (Malta), Jannike Mickelsen (Norway), Eric Phillips (Australia), Robea Rogge (Germany).
None of them flew into space before, and how many each of them paid for participation in the mission is not disclosed. The flight will last from 3 to 5 days.
Fram2 not only opens a new type of flight orbit, but also performs important scientific tasks. The main experiments of the mission: the impact of microgravitation on the brain, all astronauts will undergo MRI scanning in orbit. This will help to investigate how microgravitation affects the human brain even with a short stay in space. Sleep research. Built -in sensors will collect data on astronaut sleep modes in weightlessness. Study of space adaptation syndrome: more than 60% of astronauts suffer from shaking in space. Fram2 will help you learn how to reduce its symptoms and side effects against nausea. Sport in space: For the first time people will be exercising in Crew Dragon, whose diameter is only 4 meters. Growing mushrooms in space: this experiment can be the basis for future space farms. Observing the phenomenon of Steve, Fram2 will allow you to examine a rare atmospheric phenomenon, similar to a polar glow, first recorded in 2016. Fram2 is not just another mission, but an important step towards a new era of commercial space flights. For the first time, private astronauts will test a new route around the Earth, conduct a series of unique experiments and help make space travel more accessible to future generations.
This mission proves that space is no longer just a matter of state space agencies - private flights are becoming a new reality.
