As early as this year, four adventurers will head into space and fly in a #polar orbit, says #SpaceX in a press release.

Never before has a spaceflight over the Earth's poles been conducted with humans, according to the American space company.

The commercial astronaut mission has been named #Fram2, after the polar ship used by Norwegian explorers for expeditions in the #Arctic and #Antarctica.

It is funded and will be led by Chun Wang, a Chinese crypto entrepreneur based in Malta.

Among those joining the journey is Norwegian Jannicke Mikkelsen, becoming Norway's first female #astronaut. Mikkelsen lives in Longyearbyen on #Svalbard, where she works as a filmmaker and freelance journalist.
