Live coverage as the Polaris Dawn crew attempt the world’s first commercial spacewalk from the SpaceX Dragon capsule Resilience. The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 5:58 a.m. EDT (0858 UTC) but the time is subject to change.
Aboard Resilience are mission commander, Jared Isaacman, retired U.S. Air Force pilot, Scott “Kidd” Poteet, and two SpaceX Lead Space Operations Engineers, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis. Isaacman and Gillis will take turns emerging from the Dragon’s hatch while Poteet and Menon remain inside. The entire spacecraft will be depressurised for the Extravehicular Activity (EVA).
In addition to performing the spacewalk the crew have already flown further from Earth than anyone since the Apollo era.
Commentary will be provided by Will Robinson-Smith.
