BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX successfully launched its historic Polaris Dawn mission Tuesday morning from Kennedy Space Center.
The mission is expected to set several milestones over the course of five days, including the first commercial spacewalk, testing in-space communications, reaching a higher altitude than even the International Space Station, and conducting critical research about the impact of long-term space flights on human health.
