SpaceX Polaris Dawn Mission: Set to Launch by December with Company's Historic Spacewalk

SpaceX is going for a spacewalk and it will feature a historical mission for the world as it will bring four civilians to do the job, being the world's first on the event.

Reports are now claiming that it is set to happen by December, with the lead astronaut, Jared Isaacman from the Inspiration4 mission, along with three other civilians who will do the mission in five days in space.

SpaceX Polaris Dawn is Happening by December

SpaceX's Polaris Dawn got new updates regarding reports, and Space News reported that there are plans to launch the mission before 2022 ends. There are no official confirmations regarding this new mission for December from the space company Elon Musk, but there are speculations on its upcoming flight by then.

A previous tweet by Jared Isaacman focuses on the training and preparations that he and the Polaris Dawn team are going through for the upcoming launch and commercial spacewalk that will take place soon.

The mission's astronauts would board the Crew Dragon to launch by December and will stay in space for five days and conduct the first commercial spacewalk that the world would see.

Isaacman also revealed via an expo that December is the target date for the Polaris Dawn mission and its upcoming spacewalk for the team.

What is a Spacewalk? Commercial Event to Happen

A spacewalk is also known as the EVA or the extravehicular activity that would have astronauts and other people that venture to space go out of their vessels and float around in space. Spacewalks are done by space people on the International Space Station, but NASA said that different missions focus on spacewalks outside or far from the ISS.

The Polaris Dawn mission will have its spacewalk at a high orbital altitude.

SpaceX and its Civilian Missions

One of the most famous pieces of information regarding SpaceX's future missions is bringing civilians to space, and it may be people that have no background in space activities or related specializations to go to the great beyond. Before, it was the Inspiration4 mission that launched last September 15, 2021- marking a historic event for the world.

There were also talks regarding the ventures regarding its plans to continue on human spaceflights that would bring selected participants to space under the Polaris Program from the company.

Musk previously claimed that it would be aboard the reusable spacecraft, the Starship, and it aims to bring many missions for the world's ventures.

Now, there is a massive focus that SpaceX and known entities are bringing to the Polaris Dawn and the entire program, with much training that its astronaut is going under in preparation for the upcoming launch. There may be no confirmations yet from SpaceX regarding the December launch, but it would supposedly come soon before the year ends.
