The polar orbit will provide spectacular views for the Fram2 crew that Mikkelsen plans to document, from the ice caps to shimmering auroras.

Intriguingly, a circumbinary polar orbit is more stable than a co-planar orbit, says Triaud. This is not necessarily the case for planets on polar orbits around single stars.

SpaceX has flown satellites into polar orbit from Florida before, using a dogleg maneuver that required SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket to fly eastward over the Atlantic Ocean before veering sharply to ...

At the end of last month, SpaceX conducted the first-ever polar-orbit human spaceflight mission, and it’s just shared some stunning footage (below) that was captured during the epic voyage.

The first astronauts to enter a polar orbit chose the obvious animal to serve as their zero-g indicator: a plush polar bear. The doll also has an emperor penguin embroidered on its chest.
