    C SpaceX Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Sierra Space Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    SpaceX successfully launched the historic Fram-2 mission, which marked the first time humans traveled over Earth's poles in a commercial spacecraft. Named after the Norwegian 'Fram' ship that explored both poles in the early 20th century, the mission launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule 'Resilience' from Launch Complex-39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Conducted in partnership with NASA and private space tourists, the mission demonstrated SpaceX's advanced navigation and safety systems while the crew performed scientific experiments orbiting over the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This milestone opens possibilities for future polar space tourism and more efficient satellite deployments. The privately funded mission carried four astronauts on a 3-5 day orbital journey and tested new radiation shielding for future deep-space travel.
