In all, the Polaris Dawn team carried out 36 experiments on behalf of 31 partner institutions, including universities and NASA.

Days after returning to Earth, the four civilian crew members of the Polaris Dawn mission opened up about their experience seeing the planet from orbit, floating in weightlessness and conducting the world’s first all-civilian spacewalk. “The perfection of what you’re looking at is just awe-inspiring,” Poteet said, recalling the views of sunrises and sunsets out the window of their SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. The crew spent two-and-a-half years training for the Polaris Dawn mission, which included choreographing and rehearsing each step of the spacewalk. (The crew members also raised money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during their time in orbit.) He said the larger goal for both SpaceX and the Polaris program is to eventually make humans a multiplanetary species.

Inspiration4 mission commander Jared Isaacman stands for a portrait in front of a Falcon 9 rocket at SpaceX facilities in Hawthorne, California, in February 2021. The mission was meant to demonstrate that people from all walks of life can train for and execute a mission to orbit. I don’t know — it made me a real believer.”That’s why, Isaacman said, he worked with Musk and engineers at SpaceX to build the Polaris Program. Polaris Dawn is the first mission under that umbrella, with at least two more ventures to space planned for later down the road. The Polaris Program’s goal is to develop and test technologies that SpaceX would need if it established an extraterrestrial settlement.

Editor’s note: Relive the SpaceX Polaris Dawn historic commercial spacewalk as it happened. The Polaris Dawn crew can see a sunrise and sunset about every 106 minutes. Polaris Dawn crew members are seen within the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. Instead, the Polaris Dawn crew will receive their life support from long hoses attached to their spacecraft. Polaris Dawn crew member and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis is seen during the first commercial spacewalk.
