The plan is to set up building blocks to further human exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. 🤓 engineering
more and more humans are being launched up to space. So it makes sense that a laser-focused program like the Polaris Program would solely focus on pushing along human spaceflight capabilities.Polaris already has three missions planned — a triple combination that perfectly reflects the three-starred constellation the company is named after — which will involve developing and using new technologies, extensive research, and the first SpaceX Starship flight with humans on board.
Mission I, Polaris Dawn, kicks off by launching SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. It will launch Dragon and Polaris Dawn crew to spend five days at the highest part of Earth orbit ever reached. There, the crew will carry out a spacewalk, support scientific research, and be the first to test Starlink laser-based communications in space.
Mission II will work on Polaris Dawn's mission. And Mission III will be the first human spaceflight ever carried out on Starship —" the world’s first fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond," as Polaris states.Human spaceflight advancements appear to be right around the corner and time will tell how the Polaris Program will do.
