Jared Isaacman's Polaris Dawn: historic spacewalks and a landmark voyage

Jared Isaacman, billionaire entrepreneur, is set for a second space launch. The five-day mission, Polaris Dawn, is in collaboration with SpaceX, led by Elon Musk. Notably, this mission will involve the first-ever spacewalk by nonprofessional astronauts and will be the farthest journey from Earth since NASA's moon landings over 50 years ago.

Launch Details and Coverage

The launch is scheduled for Tuesday at 3:38 a.m. Eastern time from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In case of bad weather or technical issues, the launch window extends until 7:38 a.m.. SpaceX will provide live coverage on its website and social media platforms.

Originally set for Aug. 28, the launch was postponed due to a helium leak, followed by challenging weather conditions in Florida affecting the sixth-day splashdown.
