The private Fram2 mission lifted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex-39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida today (March 31) at 9:46 p.m. EDT (0146 GMT on April 1), sending the Crew Dragon capsule "Resilience" into a polar orbit with a quartet of spaceflight rookies aboard.

SpaceX launched its next private human spaceflight mission, Fram2, from Florida on Monday evening. The mission, featuring a collection of civilian scientists, entrepreneurs, and explorers flying onboard Crew Dragon Resilience, is the first-ever human spaceflight mission to fly to a polar orbit.

A group of astronauts whizzing around Earth from orbit are getting some pretty spectacular views of our planet's poles – and SpaceX is sharing a look.
