The SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology company scrubbed its launch of 27 satellites Tuesday from California.

The four-person crew, led by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, will spend three to five days on a rare flight path around Earth’s poles.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Monday (March 31). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 3:52 p.m. EST (1952 GMT) on Monday.

The crew will observe Earth's polar regions 430 kilometers above the surface, allowing the Crew Dragon Resilience to travel from the North to South Pole under an hour.

Update by the edhat staff The SpaceX Falcon 9 launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit has been rescheduled to Thursday, April 3, from Space Launch Complex 4 East. Liftoff is targeted for 3:54 p.

A crew of four international spacefarers on a private mission will soon seek to become the first humans to travel over Earth's poles.

The international all-civilian Fram2 crew is the first in space history to fly to orbit with no licensed pilot or trained astronaut on board.

SpaceX on Monday launched another batch of satellites from Starlink mission launches from Florida on Monday afternoon, about 5 1/2 hours before another Falcon 9 nearby sent a privately funded crew into space.
