First Flight Over the Poles!, SpaceX to Refly Booster 14 & Isaacman’s NASA Confirmation | TWIS

Описание: This week in spaceflight, we’re looking at a whole lot of firsts.

🚀 Fram2 becomes the first crewed mission to fly over both poles, with stunning views from orbit and pioneering medical experiments—including the first X-rays of the human body in space.

🔥 SpaceX fires up a flight-proven Super Heavy booster (Booster 14), marking the first re-flight prep of a Super Heavy stage.

📜 Jared Isaacman’s Senate confirmation hearing for NASA Administrator is now set, while New Glenn and Starship both wrap up their FAA mishap investigations and move toward future flights.

🌍 And in Earth orbit: ESA’s 2025 Space Environment Report paints a mixed picture—more responsible reentries, but space junk is still piling up fast.

Also this week:

NASA announces the Crew-11 lineup 🚀
SPHEREx returns its first light images 🌌
ESA awards Airbus the Rosalind Franklin Mars lander platform 🛬
Asteroid 2024 YR4 may now hit the Moon 🌕
