the crew will be the first to view Earth’s poles from low-Earth orbit. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch will place the Dragon into a 90-degree circularized orbit, the highest of any human mission yet.

Though it wasn't given a name at the time, CEO Elon Musk said that the company had filed documents with international regulators to place about 4,000 satellites in Low Earth Orbit. "We're really ...
