Rescued astronaut reveals who’s to blame for being stuck in space for 9 months, says he’s ‘grateful’ Trump taking an active role in space programs The Fram2 will aim to circle Earth at a trajectory that is exactly 90 degrees to the equator, giving the passengers a perfect view of the North and South Poles that have remained elusive from even the astronauts on the International Space Station, which flies at about 51.6 degrees. None of the passengers aboard the Fram2 mission has ever been to space before. The spacecraft is expected to fly around the globe for three to five days, with the crew set to complete 22 science experiments for researchers back on Earth. The Fram2 crew includes mission specialist and medical officer Eric Philips, mission commander Chun Wang, pilot Rabea Rogge and vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen.

Mikkelsen wants people viewing these phenomena to try to synchronize their photographs with hers to get a full view of what they look like on Earth and from space. “Anyone can join. Where you go outside, if there is an aurora where you live … you will take a photo of the aurora at the same time as we on the Fram2 flight fly over the aurora,” the cinematographer told CNN.
