The Polaris Dawn mission will attempt the first commercial spacewalk on a private mission.
The mission will take the spacecraft to altitudes as high as 1,400 kilometers, the highest for a crewed mission since Apollo 17 went to the moon in 1972 .
Two of the four members will briefly emerge from the hatch to conduct tests during the two-hour spacewalking.
Crew will put on new extravehicular activity (EVA) suits on flight day two for mobility tests.
Isaacman and SpaceX announced the Polaris program in February 2022 with three missions planned that will culminate in the first crewed Starship launch.
The reentry will be on flight day six , targeting one of several locations off the Florida coast.
Isaacman did not disclose plans for the second Polaris mission, which he said only would build on the first .
