    SpaceX astronauts have shown the first footage of a flight over Antarctica

    SpaceX has released the first footage from the Frame2 mission, taken by astronauts aboard the Crew Dragon Resilience capsule.

    In the video, shot through the dome window of the spacecraft, you can see one of the poles of the Earth, over which the crew flies.

    "The first views of the polar regions of the Earth with Dragon," says the official SpaceX post.

    One of the crew members, mission leader Chun Wang, also shared an incredible image of Antarctica taken from an altitude of 460 kilometers.

    "Hello, Antarctica! Unlike previous forecasts, from a height of 460 kilometers it is just white, no human activity is visible," he wrote.

    The private mission From 2 was launched on March 31 by a Falcon 9 rocket. The Crew Dragon Resilience capsule entered polar orbit with four crew members on board. 22 scientific experiments are planned during the mission. One of them involves an attempt to grow mushrooms in zero gravity for the first time, as well as studying the effects of microgravity on the human musculoskeletal system. korrespondent.net.
