Polaris Dawn was a private crewed spaceflight operated by SpaceX on behalf of Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman, the first of three planned missions in the Polaris program. Launched September 10, 2024, as the 14th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, Isaacman and his crew of three — Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon — flew in an elliptic orbit that took them 1,400 kilometers away from Earth, the farthest anyone has been without leaving low Earth orbit. This was also the farthest anyone traveled between NASA's Apollo 17 lunar landing in 1972 and Artemis II lunar flyby in 2026.
