>Teams will recreate expected conditions in space by lowering and raising the vehicle's pressures to ensure Dragon performs as expected both during and after the first commercial spacewalk. They'll also test for any off-gassing of materials that may take place while operating at vacuum
>Throughout their time in orbit, Dragon and the crew will reach the highest altitude flown in Earth's orbit since Apollo, test Starlink, and conduct 35+ research experiments in addition to the spacewalk
>Polaris Dawn will be SpaceX's fourth Dragon mission flying civilians to space. Missions such as these unlock opportunities for more people and critical science to go to space, helping make life multiplanetary. Learn more about human spaceflight at SpaceX
