3,2,1....LIFTOFF! SpaceX launched Fram2 mission successfully last night (03.31) from Kennedy Space Center - you may have had the chance to catch the Central Florida skies light up around 9:46PM. We witnessed history!
If you missed it - check out liftoff below:
The four astronauts are orbiting earth from pole to pole which refers to the earths axis of rotation from the North Pole to the South Pole - we are experiencing history as no human has ever travelled this before. It’s a free flying mission so they’ll be gone the next 3-5 days and partaking in over 20 research experiments which are largely centered on how spaceflight and microgravity can affect the human body and the first X-rays of humans from space.
