Tech billionaire creates history! Did a spacewalk in space!!!
Billionaire Jared Isaacman created history by doing a spacewalk on thursday (September 12). The important thing is that non-professional astronauts also participated in this spacewalk. The special thing about this spacewalk was that it was the highest altitude in a spacewalk in the last 50 years.
Civilian astronauts also participated in the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission led by fintech billionaire Jared Isaacman. It achieved an altitude of about 1,400 kilometers, which is about three times more than the international Space Station (ISS).
When was it launched?
The SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission was launched on tuesday (September 10) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In collaboration with SpaceX, Isaacman carried out this extremely adventurous task hundreds of miles above the Earth. A video of which has also been shared by SpaceX on the social media platform X. How was the difficult task accomplished?
According to reports, Jared Isaacman and his team waited for a long time for the pressure of their capsule to decrease before opening the hatch. During this time, all four members of the team were wearing SpaceX's new spacewalking suits to protect themselves from the vacuum.
How long did the spacewalk last?
This spacewalking test lasted for about two hours in which more stretching was done than walking. The plan was that Jared Isaacman would come out of the capsule, but he had to keep his hands or feet attached to the capsule the whole time. By bending his hands and feet, he wanted to see how the new spacesuit was. There was also a walker-like structure in the hatch for help.
What is a spacewalk?
