Earth: Polar Orbit Views | Fram2 Mission | SpaceX
Earth views from the Dragon spacecraft during Fram2, the first polar-orbit human spaceflight mission. Watch the extended, ~4-hour cut with additional views via SpaceX on X:
The Fram2 Mission's crew (the "Framonauts") were the first humans to view the Earth’s polar regions from space.
Mission Objectives
During their multi-day mission, Dragon and the crew explored Earth from a polar orbit for the first time. They conducted 22 research studies designed to help advance humanity’s capabilities for long-duration space exploration and understanding of human health in space. For example, the crew took the first x-ray in space. They also performed exercise studies to maintain muscle and skeletal mass, and grew mushrooms in microgravity.
The Crew
This was the first human spaceflight for Mission Commander Chun Wang (Malta), Vehicle Commander Jannicke Mikkelsen (Norway), Vehicle Pilot Rabea Rogge (Germany), plus Mission Specialist and Medical Officer Eric Philips (Australia).

The Fram2 Mission was named in honor of Fram "Forward", the first exploration ship to complete voyages to the Arctic and Antarctica between 1893 and 1912. Framonaut Vehicle Commander Jannicke Mikkelsen of Norway carried a small piece of that ship to orbit.
