Four private astronauts are set to launch on a historic mission Monday from Florida’s Space Coast. The Fram2 mission will be the first human spaceflight to Earth’s polar regions. The crew is set to launch on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Fram2 will send four people from four different nations to low Earth orbit for three to five days. Those crewmembers — all of them spaceflight rookies — are mission commander Chun Wang of Malta, vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen of Norway, pilot Rabea Rogge of Germany, and Australian Eric Phillips, Fram2's medical officer and mission specialist.

SpaceX is set to launch the first human spaceflight directly over Earth's polar regions on Monday -- a days-long, privately funded orbital mission involving four astronauts.
