Astronauts aboard Elon Musk’s SpaceX company’s Fram2 mission will fly over Earth’s Polar Regions to conduct experiments and X-rays, as well as monitor mushroom cultivation in microgravity.

The launch was completed on Monday, March 31, carrying four astronauts for a three- to five-day expedition.

The takeoff of Musk’s company’s Falcon 9 rocket was met with applause for the success of the process as it began its journey to Earth’s North and South Poles. “The crew departed at 9:46 p.m. Monday (1:46 a.m. GMT Tuesday) aboard a Dragon capsule from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida,” media reported.

The crew includes mission commander Chun Wang; vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen; German pilot and robotics researcher Rabea Rogge; and mission specialist and medical officer Eric Philips.
