The company's four-person Fram2 mission came to a successful end on Friday (April 4) with the splashdown of the Crew Dragon capsule "Resilience" off the coast of Southern California.

Four private spacefarers on a mission known as Fram2 set out to become the first humans to fly in orbit over both Earth's North and South poles.

SpaceX's Fram2 mission, the first crewed mission to ever orbit Earth's North and South poles, is set to Earth on Friday morning. The Crew Dragon capsule has carried four civilians from four countries on a five-day mission that will be entirely concluded when the craft splashes down in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast at approximately 9:19 a.
