Watch first private spacewalk as Polaris Dawn crew is about to perform EVA

Published: September 12, 2024
The recent news indicates that after completing six orbits around Earth, the Dragon spacecraft executed a series of maneuvers to adjust its orbit to approximately 190 x 700 km in preparation for a spacewalk. During this period, the crew also focused on reducing the cabin pressure to align with the conditions needed for the extravehicular activity (EVA). Additionally, they demonstrated the mobility of their suits to ensure functionality within the microgravity environment and prepared the cabin for the EVA. The launch of private spacewalks marks a significant milestone in the evolution of space exploration, highlighting the growing role of commercial entities in activities once solely undertaken by government agencies. This transition not only increases opportunities for research and development in space but also could lead to innovations in transportation technology, such as advancements in life-support systems and space suit design. It is imperative for private companies to prioritize safety and efficiency to maintain public trust and foster continued investment in the burgeoning space economy.
