Isaacman bought a new space flight

Elon Musk's spacecraft and rocket company, SpaceX, will perform its first commercial spacewalk in the last quarter of 2022. Billionaire businessman Jared Isaacman, who went to space with SpaceX last year, announced that he has purchased a series of missions called "Polaris", which will go even deeper into space, this time to the highest orbit, with SpaceX again. The flight includes missions to travel to the highest orbit, health research, and testing of the satellite Starlink.

As it will be remembered, last year, Elon Musk's space company SpaceX sent a team of four, all civilians, into space, and the team traveling in Earth's orbit successfully returned to the earth after a three-day journey. Billionaire Jared Isaacman, founder of the payment processing company Shift4 Payments, is on this team and plans to go into space once again with SpaceX. The 39-year-old billionaire plans to go to the furthest point humans have gone in space since they set foot on the Moon.

Isaacman financed the entire SpaceX Crew Dragon passenger mission, called Inspiration 4, last year and filled the other three seats on the spacecraft with an all-civilian crew. After a short training, the civilian crew went into space to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on a three-day trip into space to raise money. The three new flights Isaacman has acquired include two missions on SpaceX's Crew Dragon that involve flying into super-high orbits that will eventually lead to the first crewed flight on the company's new Starship rocket. Isaacman, who will fly on his first Crew Dragon voyage called 'Polaris Dawn', will be accompanied by two SpaceX employees, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon, and a former Air Force pilot, Scott "Kidd" Poteet, who is the mission director of Inspiration4. With this flight, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is aiming to collect donations once again.

If the flight is successful, the Crew Dragon capsule will have reached the highest altitude it has ever been to. Manned deep space travel will be tested with Crew Dragon flights.

'Laser-based communication' will be tested

Additionally, Crew Dragon flights are intended to serve as lead missions to test deep space human travel with SpaceX. A new, specially designed spacesuit is being prepared for use on the Polaris Dawn mission, which includes a spacewalk that will be the first commercial spaceflight ever. On the other hand, the flight will also test the "laser-based communication in space" of Starlink, the massive satellite constellation the company is building to provide global broadband coverage.
