Chun Wang, Jannicke Mikkelsen, Rabea Rogge and Eric Philips will make their first human spaceflight aboard Crew Dragon Resilience, exploring Earth from a polar orbit and flying over Earth’s polar regions for the first time.

In contrast, the Fram2 mission's 90-degree inclination means it will pass directly over both the North and South Poles. This path provides comprehensive coverage of Earth's surface, enabling observations of regions and phenomena not accessible to other missions.
