Abstract
- The Polaris Dawn mission is set to break records by reaching an altitude of 870 miles, farther than any other nonlunar mission. The crew will also be the first commercial astronauts to perform a spacewalk and test communications with the SpaceX Starlink system. The mission aims to conduct over 40 scientific experiments, including studying space motion sickness and raising funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The Polaris series of missions could also potentially service the Hubble Space Telescope and launch SpaceX's Starship rocket. [Extracted from the article]
