The first astronauts to enter a polar orbit chose the obvious animal to serve as their zero-g indicator: a plush polar bear. The doll also has an emperor penguin embroidered on its chest.

Animals like Dolly and Laika made history with their extraordinary contributions, ensuring they are remembered forever.

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.

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.
