Tuesday will mark the launch of the first Polaris mission, commanded by Billionaire Jared Isaacman, who was also the commander of the Inspiration4 mission back in 2021.

Joining him are former USAF Lieutenant Colonel Scott Poteet (mission pilot), SpaceX Sarah Gillis (mission specialist 1) and SpaceX Anna Menon (mission specialist 2).

On day one they will enter an ecliptic 190x1400 km orbit, the highest apogee ever for a non-lunar mission surpassing Gemini 11.

On day 3 they will reduce the apogee at 700km and perform a spacewalk. The Dragon cabin will fully depressurize and they will test SpaceX experimental EVA suits. On day 4 they will test starlink coms and on day 5 they will make their preparations to return to Earth.
