The four commercial astronauts of Polaris Dawn are preparing for a mission of firsts. Not only will they perform the first non-governmental spacewalk in history, but the two mission specialists, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, will break ground by becoming the two women who've traveled furthest from Earth on a spaceflight. The mission, which also includes Commander Jared Isaacman and Pilot Scott "Kidd" Poteet, will additionally be highlighted by more than 30 science experiments and a demonstration of Starlink connectivity embedded within their Crew Dragon spacecraft.
The mission is now set to launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than Saturday, August 31, at 3:38 a.m. EDT (0738 UTC).
Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith spoke one-on-one with the four crew members to learn more about the mission, the training and what brought them into the world of human spaceflight.
