Two private astronauts, billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis, have achieved a historic milestone by conducting the first-ever commercial spacewalk. The spacewalk, part of the Polaris Dawn mission, took place at an unusually high altitude, marking a significant step forward for private spaceflight and showcasing the potential of human exploration beyond Earth.
The Polaris Dawn mission, led by Jared Isaacman, achieved a historic milestone with the first-ever private spacewalk. Crew members Isaacman and Gillis ventured outside the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, testing new spacesuits and marking a significant advancement for commercial spaceflight.
SpaceX successfully launched the Polaris Dawn mission, carrying an all-civilian crew, including Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman, on a journey to conduct the first-ever private spacewalk. The crew will spend up to five days in orbit, conducting research and science experiments. This landmark mission marks a significant step forward for commercial spaceflight.
SpaceX has successfully launched the Polaris Dawn mission, sending four non-professional astronauts aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft into orbit. This mission marks a significant milestone, featuring the first-ever commercial spacewalk, a record-breaking altitude for humans since the Apollo era, and crucial research for future spaceflight endeavors.
SpaceX’s ambitious Polaris Dawn mission, aiming to conduct the first-ever commercial spacewalk, is finally scheduled to launch on September 10th after multiple delays. The mission will send a crew of four into orbit for up to five days, with the highlight being a spacewalk nearly 435 miles above Earth.
SpaceX has postponed the launch of its all-civilian Polaris Dawn mission due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The company is prioritizing crew safety and is waiting for a favorable forecast before launching the mission.
SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission will see the first-ever commercial spacewalk, pushing the boundaries of space exploration. The mission will also take the Crew Dragon spacecraft further from Earth than ever before, setting the stage for future lunar and deep space voyages.
NASA has chosen three additional companies to provide launch services for future missions under its Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) contract. This expansion broadens access to space by offering more flexible and affordable launch options for NASA’s scientific research and technology development.
SpaceX has announced a one-day delay to the Polaris Dawn mission, pushing the launch to August 27th. The delay is to allow for additional preflight checks, ensuring readiness for the historic mission. The Polaris Dawn mission, led by Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman, aims to conduct the first-ever commercial spacewalk and will see a crew of four travel further from Earth than anyone in over 50 years.
SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission is set to launch on August 26th, sending a crew of four civilians on a record-breaking journey to the highest orbit ever reached by a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission will include the first commercial spacewalk, with two crew members testing a new spacesuit design. Follow the launch live on SpaceX’s X account.
