Elon's SpaceX Crew Dragon:
Fram2 is to be the first polar orbit manned mission in history. It will cross outside the Earth's magnetic field at the poles.

Mission overview:
"Named Fram2 in reference and succession to the polar exploration ship Fram, the mission is intended to study the Earth's poles and their space environment. It will be a free-flight mission of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, without docking to a space station. Initially spacecraft Endurance was selected for this flight because it shares the name with Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration vessel. But it was later decided to fly this mission with Resilience due to changes in the Crew Dragon manifest. This mission will be equipped with the panoramic cupola attachment that first flew on Inspiration4. The mission is scheduled for early April 2025. It will launch from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center."
"The mission will enter a low Earth orbit (between 425 and 450 km (264 and 280 mi)) with a polar inclination (90°), allowing it to fly over both of Earth's poles. It will aim to observe and study aurora-like phenomena such as STEVE and green fragments and conduct experiments on the human body, including the first X-ray of a human in space. Rogge plans a series of Amateur Radio SSTV image transmissions. Those are targeted to educational groups competing in an event called FRAM2 Ham."
