Targeting Tuesday, August 27 for launch of Polaris Dawn, the first of the Polaris’s three human spaceflight missions designed to advance the future of spaceflight

This morning, the Polaris Ghost Squadron Alpha jets performed a flyby of Launch Complex 39A. The astronauts of the Polaris Dawn mission, Jared Isaacman, Kidd Poteet, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, are aiming to launch on a Falcon 9 rocket from this pad at 3:38 am ET (0738

Totally surreal to walk into a hangar and see the rocket and spaceship that will take you to space 🤯 We got to sign our flight-proven booster before it heads out to the pad and goes vertical: a moment made possible by SpaceX’s impressive booster reusability.

You're cleared for launch. 🚀

There is so much to learn still for our collective future in human space exploration. Excited to contribute to the learning via this mission!

Love getting to share a glimpse into training for the Polaris Dawn spacewalk! The SpaceX team came up with so many innovative solutions as a part of this development and training effort. Can’t wait to put all of this work into action in a few days!

What a sight! 😍 Today we visited Dragon Resilience as she rolled out to the pad and soon thereafter was raised vertical. I love seeing how the SpaceX team works - one minute Dragon is standing in a hangar and then I blink and she’s on top of a rocket secured at the launch site.

Absolutely stunning

Dry dress rehearsal and static fire complete! Next stop: SPACE

Stunning static fire completed at dawn

T-1 day! This one’s for the SpaceX team. From day one to T-1, I have been awed by their demonstration of how to dream big, persevere, and build a better future. This photo, taken during quarantine on our last day at SpaceX, offers just a small glimpse into the incredible team of

So appreciate the support 🙏

I always appreciate SpaceX ‘s diligence and commitment to not fly until we are ready. We will try again tomorrow!

Our launch criteria are heavily constrained by forecasted splashdown weather conditions. With no ISS rendezvous and limited life support consumables, we must be absolutely sure of reentry weather before launching. As of now, conditions are not favorable tonight or tomorrow, so

Grateful for every opportunity I get to learn from one of the best, John Kraus !
