After launching Tuesday aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, the SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying the crew managed to ascend to 870 miles above Earth 's surface.
The height is the highest any spacefarer has traveled since NASA 's Apollo era came to an end in the 1970s.
For Polaris Dawn mission specialists Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon , the two astronauts have now traveled farther from the planet than any other women have.
Ahead of the crew is still a bold pioneering private spacewalk, which SpaceX said is still on track to occur Thursday .
For that reason, SpaceX waited for several days for weather conditions to improve off the Florida coast, where the crew will make a splashdown landing on the sixth day of their mission. Eric Lagatta covers breaking and trending news for USA TODAY . Reach him at [email protected].
