SPACEFLIGHT
The Polaris Dawn mission developed new capabilities for human spaceflight while raising funds and awareness for important causes on Earth. The crew completed the first commercial spacewalk, reached the highest Earth orbit ever flown, conducted the first in-space tests of Starlink during a human spaceflight mission, and completed nearly 40 science and research experiments.
AVIATION
The Polaris Program’s Flight Operations division supported commercial astronaut training as well as industry R&D and test missions, and also performed at air shows across the nation in effort to support St. Jude and inspire the next generation.
Our Cause
Polaris Dawn partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to provide healthcare in places that need it the most. Learn more about the mission’s work with St. Jude here.
