While in orbit, the crew conducted scientific research designed to advance both human health on Earth and our understanding of human health during future long-duration spaceflights.

At approximately 700 kilometres above the Earth, the crew realised the first-ever commercial extravehicular activity (EVA) with SpaceX-designed extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits. Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require thousands of spacesuits.

Reaching the highest Earth orbit ever flown, through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt. A series of experiments with the aim of better understanding the effects of spaceflight and space radiation on human health were carried out.

In 2024, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched the Polaris Dawn mission from historic Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Dragon and the Polaris Dawn crew spent five days in orbit.

“These 4 points then radiate waves that are arrested three dimensionally as they converge in the centre of the seat pan and translated into a pressed metal alloy which becomes strengthened by the tessellated surface. This wave convergence is symbolic of the 4 astronauts, their unity and becoming one for this mission.”

“The launch of the Falcon rocket creates a shock way that is an invisible ring that passes over its tubular body in flight. I have taken this data and translated it into a frequency that is passed through the frame of the GO Chair creating 4 distinct polarised focus points in each corner of the seat.” @RossLovegroveX

𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 —  Danh Vo's ‘Chicxulub’ transformed @_WhiteCube Bermondsey in 2020 into a space of poetic deconstruction and historical reflection.  The Vietnam-born Danish artist presented a collection of arranged objects inspired by political and historical narratives, delving into themes such as the fall of empires, the seduction and violence of Catholicism, and the global interplay of culture and commerce.

The project invites consumers to reconsider their relationship with standardized objects, emphasizing the potential for beauty, character, and sustainability within the mundane.
