World first Commercial spacewalk complete:polaris dawn spacewalk

Four person crew on mission aboard a SpaceX capsule completed the world first commercial spacewalk this morning.

All four crew members were exposed to vacuum of space SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis exited the SpaceX capsule and billionaire tech CEO Jared Isaacman.

SpaceX knew that Crew Dragon capsule was vacuum of space.

Jared Isaacman the tech CEO funded this mission and is serving as commander around a historic spacewalk and the altitudes that Polaris Dawn will reach a Starlink experiment that this mission will carry out may be fascination and unsung aspect of the mission.

The Polaris Dawn crew has promised to open up a stunning demonstration of using starlink in space later in mission.

Starlink to work in space is more complex than turning the internet on aboard the Polaris Dawn Crew Dragon spacecraft Isaacman add.

It relies on laser links between the vehicle and satellite which is complicated than flipping a switch.

Starlink is SpaceX web of internet beaming satellites. Consumers on earth use the service for reaching the internet in remote position across Earth.

that could make the method for future missions to rely on Starlink more seriously bypassing the need to rely on older and more backlogged system like NASA TDRS satellites.

The Polaris Dawn crew is carrying out total of 36 research experiments during their stay in orbit.

Gillis said that Polaris Dawn crew will tackles consisting putting on special contact lenses that have pressure transducers on them.

The lenses will gauge how the members eyeball are replying to pressure changes as they adapt to life swimming around in  microgravity.

NASA has been carrying out the endeavors since the Gemini program debuted the ability for the US in 1965.

Astronautes from all over the globe have used spacewalking technology to explore the moon surface service the Hubble Space Telescope and assist construct the International Space Station.
