Overview

• The Fram2 mission, launched on March 31, 2025, is the first crewed spaceflight to orbit Earth's polar regions, achieving a 90-degree inclination trajectory.
• Funded by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang, the mission includes a crew of four first-time astronauts conducting 22 scientific experiments in microgravity.
• The crew has shared stunning images and videos of Earth's icy polar regions, including views of Antarctica and aurora-like phenomena such as STEVE.
• Early challenges included space motion sickness, which affected all crew members during the first day but subsided by the second morning.
• The mission is expected to conclude later this week with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, marking another milestone in private space exploration.
