SpaceX has rolled out the rocket and Crew Dragon capsule that will launch the Fram2 astronaut mission on Monday night (March 31).

The Fram2 astronauts launched from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A on a stormy Monday night. Here's what we know about this mysterious mission of firsts.

Our planet’s first known mass extinction happened about 440 million years ago. Species diversity on Earth had been increasing over a period of roughly 30 million years, but that would come to a halt as water began to freeze in a massive ice cap towards the south pole.

SpaceX successfully launched Fram2, the first crewed mission to orbit Earth's poles, on Monday night from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The historic mission is carrying four civilians from four countries.

Four astronauts were all smiles Tuesday evening when they splashed down off the Florida coast on a SpaceX Dragon capsule. See photos.

Experts have unveiled the most detailed images yet of the universe’s infancy, capturing light that traveled for more than 13 billion years.

While making the deliveries, the Blue Ghost lander experienced one lunar day. During the course of that day, it captured several images and videos. It imaged a total solar eclipse from the surface of the moon and also took pictures of the sunset. In a post on social media, Firefly Aerospace referred to the sunset picture as the lander's farewell.

Fram2 is the first human spaceflight to explore the Earth's polar regions. It launched on top of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
