• The mission, funded by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang, achieved the historic milestone of being the first human spaceflight to orbit Earth's North and South poles.
• The crew of four first-time astronauts conducted 22 scientific experiments, including the first medical X-rays in space and studies on human health in microgravity.
• Equipped with a domed window, the spacecraft captured unique 360-degree views of Earth's polar regions, providing unprecedented visual documentation.
• As part of a recovery experiment, the crew exited the spacecraft unassisted, testing astronaut capabilities after short-duration space missions.
