Arab Weather - SpaceX, owned by American billionaire Elon Musk, is scheduled to organize the first spacewalk on Tuesday involving ordinary citizens. This mission, known as "Polaris Dawn," is considered one of the company's most dangerous operations to date.

 

A milestone for the commercial space sector

If Polaris Dawn’s flight is successful, it will mark a significant milestone for the commercial space industry. NASA increasingly relies on companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Intuitive Machines to build rockets and spacecraft and develop the technologies needed for its flagship space projects.

The mission is being funded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, who will be one of four on board. He will be accompanied by Scott Poteet, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, and two SpaceX employees, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon. The mission is intended to further SpaceX's goals of space exploration.

Elon Musk retweeted a tweet from SpaceX's X account indicating that Polaris Dawn has completed a full test of launch day activities. The flight is scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with a spacewalk scheduled for two days after launch.

Since the 1960s, spacewalks have been the preserve of government astronauts. The missions pose significant risks due to the vacuum of space, flying debris and extreme temperatures. SpaceX has announced that it will test new spacesuits developed by the company during this flight.

 

 

 

 

SpaceX Mission Goals and Innovations

Polaris Dawn aims to test new technologies that could help explore the Moon and Mars. Despite the risks, a successful mission would cement SpaceX’s position as a leader in space exploration and its ability to successfully carry out dangerous and complex missions.
