Four private astronauts flew on a SpaceX spacecraft and successfully returned to Earth after orbiting the Earth's polar region for about four days. This marks SpaceX's sixth successful private space mission. Since their launch from Florida on March 31, they have conducted 22 microgravity experiments and successfully exited the spacecraft without the need for medical team assistance, demonstrating that astronauts can walk autonomously on the Moon or Mars. The crew includes Maltese investor 王春 and his three partners. Today, they successfully landed off the coast of California.
According to reports from foreign media, four private astronauts have successfully returned to Earth after orbiting the planet for about four days aboard a spacecraft from Space Exploration Technologies Corp. They exited the spacecraft without requiring much assistance, completing SpaceX's sixth complete private space mission. Since launching from Florida, USA, on the evening of March 31, these four crew members, led by a Maltese investor, followed a circular trajectory circling the Earth from the North and South Poles, embarking on a unique orbit that no humans have traveled before, crossing the snow-covered polar regions approximately every forty minutes.
During this mission, they successfully completed 22 research experiments, primarily focusing on the changes in the human body under microgravity conditions. The four members include three friends and partners of the leader: a film director from Norway, a robotics research scientist from Germany and a polar scientist, and an adventurer from Australia.
The "Dragon" spacecraft they were on reduced its orbit around the Earth this morning, and a few hours later, it landed off the coast of California at noon Eastern Time, where SpaceX's vessel lifted the spacecraft from the water and moved it to the platform below. Generally, astronauts receive assistance from medical and support teams upon returning to Earth; however, during the final experiment of this mission, the crew members exited the Dragon without the careful assistance of the team, proving that astronauts can successfully step out of a spacecraft on the Moon or Mars.
For decades, NASA has been sending its own astronauts to the International Space Station to study the effects of spaceflight on the body, particularly as longer missions are known to cause decreases in bone density and muscle mass. Today, each crew member slowly crawled out of the Dragon in turn, their flexibility seemingly only limited by their space suits, but they all stood upright with smiles on their faces.
