Mission insignia

Fram2 is a planned private human spaceflight mission, operated by SpaceX on behalf of entrepreneur Chun Wang. During the mission, the 16th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, Wang and his all-civilian crew — Jannicke Mikkelsen, Eric Philips and Rabea Rogge — will be propelled into a polar orbit, a first for a human spaceflight mission. During the three to five day mission, the crew says they will conduct scientific research.[1][2]
