The Fram2 mission, paid for and led by a cryptocurrency billionaire who is flying with three guests, has returned after a journey on a unprecedented polar orbit.
Four space tourists, including a former NASA astronaut, successfully returned to Earth after a three-day mission aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, splashing down off the coast of Florida. The mission, organized by Axiom Space, marked the second all-private trip to the International Space Station (ISS), where the crew conducted various scientific experiments and engaged in educational outreach. The team, led by retired astronaut Peggy Whitson, also included stem cell researcher Rayyanah Barnawi, who became the first Saudi woman in space, and businessman John Shoffner, who funded the trip. This successful mission highlights the growing trend of private space travel and the increasing role of commercial companies in space exploration.
