2. Fram2

   01.04.2025 / Falcon 9 / Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA

   Fram2 is the world’s first astronaut mission to polar orbit. Named after the Norwegian polar research ship Fram, the Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch into a 90° circular orbit from Florida, making it the first human spaceflight to fly over Earth’s polar regions from low-Earth orbit. A cupola will be installed on the Dragon spacecraft to allow for Earth observation from at an altitude of 425 – 450 km. During the 3-to-5-day mission, the crew will study green fragments and mauve ribbons of continuous emissions comparable to the phenomenon known as STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), persistently measured at an altitude of approximately 400 - 500 km above Earth’s atmosphere, among other studies. The crew will also work with SpaceX to conduct a variety of research to better understand the effects of spaceflight on the human body, which includes capturing the first human x-ray images in space, Just-in-Time training tools, and studying the effects of spaceflight on behavioural health. Chun Wang, an entrepreneur and explorer who co-founded f2pool and stakefish, serves as the mission commander. The vehicle commander will be Jannicke Mikkelsen, a film director, and cinematographer. The vehicle pilot will be Eric Philips, a professional polar adventurer and guide who has completed ski expeditions to the North and South Poles. The final crew member will be mission specialist Rabea Rogge, a robotics researcher from Berlin, currently pursuing her PhD in Norway.

3. Dragon CRS-2 SpX-32

   21.04.2025 / Falcon 9 / Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA

   32nd commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.

4. Bandwagon 3 (Dedicated Mid-Inclination Rideshare)

   30.04.2025 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA

   Dedicated rideshare flight to a mid-inclination orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers.

5. Starlink Group 12-10

   30.04.2025 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA

   A batch of satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
