SpaceX launches mission at 700 kilometers altitude

SpaceX will bring the first astronauts in a next high-altitude aerial tramway to Earth on Wednesday morning (9:38 AM CET). At the maximum fun of the day-planting Mission “Polaris Dawn” it is the four deployment runners after the start from the Weltraumbahnhof Cape Canaveral to 700 kilometers of Earth entfernen. Damit acts with SpaceX as the great enterprise of man to the last Apollo missions to the world in the 1970s.

For comparison: The International Space Station ISS is located at an altitude of about 400 kilometers. The billionaires of Jared Isaacman, the mission into space with SpaceX founder Elon Musk organizer, are the Kommandant of “Polaris Dawn”. With Isaacman, the astronauts Kidd Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon fly in the space ship “Dragon” with a “Falcon 9” rocket in all. When the mission begins, there is talk of a prosperous space flight of the astronauts, while the private space flight will offer a new world of well-being.

Beim “ersten kommerziellen Weltraumspaziergang” – wie is de website van de projectheißt – soll der Anzug größere Mobilität gewährleisten. Zudemet is a helmet-mounted display, a chamber is new material with thermal regulation in all requirements.

The purpose of “Polaris Dawn” is the following: “For the construction of a base on the mouth and a city on Mars, millions of raumanzügen were needed”, the project shares. “The development that these introductions and the continuation of the Weltraumspaziergangs have made have had a step with a scalable design for raumanzüge for future long-term missions, the multi-planetary world of life.” A colony on Mars – it is the long-term purpose of the US-Weltraumbehörde Nasa. With the “Artemis” program it will come to that – and it will often take longer than one of the years – brings people back to the world. A base of the Earth traversers is the foundation for missions to Mars images. The planned manned Mondumrundung “Artemis 2” planted for November 2024 should be released in September 2025, the planted manned Mondumrundung “Artemis 3” in September 2026 due to road problems with Rakete and Raumschiff.

The four-man crew has set the Weltraumspaziergang on a voyage of experimentation. Laut SpaceX has conducted a survey of 31 partners on 36 studies on the agenda, “which represents long-term human prosperity.” The astronauts will be able to test one of the laser-based communications techniques of satellite internet programs Starlink.
