Washington: For the first time on Wednesday, SpaceX will be sent to the ORBIT crew which is fully made from beginners, without professional astronauts on board.
The four passengers should realize the opening of space for everyone, giving the mission of his name: Inspiration4.
A billionaire, Jared Isakman, is behind the project.
He was the one who hired a mission, at its own expense, invited three anonymous people to join him, through a rather original selection process.
Each seat has been assigned to represent certain values.
Isaacman, 38, is the CEO of the e-commerce shift4 payment company.
This mission is prepared especially to raise support for one of its favorite causes, St.
Children’s Research Hospitals.
Jude.
The chairs represent “leadership”.
College will be an assistant doctor Hayley Arceneaux, a former hospital patient who is treated for bone cancer as a child.
At the age of 29, he would become the youngest American to be sent to orbit throughout the earth, and the first person with prostheses to go into space.
He will be a “medical manager” of his mission and chair representing “hope”.
The Sian Proctor Geostommentist, 51, won its chair, representing “prosperity”, by creating an online sales site connected to space as part of the contest by the Isaacman company.
Proctor, astronaut candidates NASA will only become the fourth American American woman to go into space.
Chris Sembroski, a US Air Force veteran on duty in Iraq and is now working in the Aeronautics sector, chosen for his donation at St.
Jude Fundraiser.
The chairs represent “generosity”.
The inspirational crew will not have a part to play in operating the spacecraft, although some titles are mostly honored – Isaacman is the “commander” of the mission and proctor is a “pilot” mission considering they are both licensed pilots.
The four will rise with a completely automatic dragon capsule, the same type that SpaceX is used to send astronauts to and from international space stations for NASA.
But charter flights will not go there.
After in orbit, the crew will conduct medical experiments with “potential applications for human health on earth”.
