The Polaris Dawn mission is set to launch from Florida in the early hours of Aug. 26 .

It's the first of three flights billionaire and Shift4 founder Jared Isaacman purchased from SpaceX in 2022 for his human spaceflight effort known as the Polaris Program .

Isaacman will be commanding the mission, as he did while leading the historic Inspiration4 flight in 2021 .

The crew will do extensive checks of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule Resilience.

Isaacman said the EVA suits are the results of hundreds of hours of testing different materials over years .

Polaris Dawn aims to push the boundaries of private spaceflight and, like his first trip to orbit, Isaacman hopes the mission inspires.

Everything is about building the next generation. We’re continuing to iterate on this suit design so that SpaceX can have hundreds or thousands someday for the moon, Mars , working in [low Earth orbit], what have you.
