Best new movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and more SpaceX actually used the Pacific for the first uncrewed Dragon supply missions, but switched to the East Coast in 2019. How to watch The Fram2 mission’s Crew Dragon is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California at about 9:20 a.m. PT (12:20 p.m. ET) on Friday, April 4. The crew’s homecoming will be livestreamed on SpaceX’s X account, with the broadcast starting an hour before splashdown. More about the mission Sponsored by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang, Fram2 is the first-ever crewed mission to take a polar orbit. The crew comprises Wang, Norwegian filmmaker Jannicke Mikkelsen, German roboticist Rabea Rogge, and Australian polar adventurer Eric Phillips. While in orbit, the Fram2 crew is carrying out more than 20 experiments focused on advancing scientific understanding of spaceflight, which could prove useful for future missions. They include radiation measurements, mushroom cultivation in microgravity conditions, and observing polar light phenomena like auroras. While some experts have questioned the mission’s scientific merit, Fram2 demonstrates the potential for innovative commercial ventures to contribute to long-term space exploration goals. Travling around 270 miles above Earth’s surface, the crew has already been sharing dramatic imagery captured from the Crew Dragon’s cupola window. Wang has also shared social media posts explaining how he and his fellow crewmembers felt a little rough as they adjusted to the microgravity conditions during their first day in orbit.
