The SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology company scrubbed its launch of 27 satellites Tuesday from California.

The international all-civilian Fram2 crew is the first in space history to fly to orbit with no licensed pilot or trained astronaut on board.

In contrast, the Fram2 mission's 90-degree inclination means it will pass directly over both the North and South Poles. This path provides comprehensive coverage of Earth's surface, enabling observations of regions and phenomena not accessible to other missions.

SpaceX is gearing up to launch Fram2, the first crewed mission to orbit Earth's poles, on Monday night from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The historic mission will carry four civilians from four countries.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base is scheduled for Tuesday, April 1. The liftoff is targeted for 4:39 p.m. with backup opportunities available until 8:39 p.m. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available on Wednesday,

During the first quarter of the year, 27 orbital rockets took flight from Florida's Space Coast. That equates to a cadence of 108 launches by year's end — a record-breaking pace that would erase last year's record of 93 annual liftoffs.

SpaceX's Starship megarocket, the world's most powerful rocket, is officially on NASA's list for future launches.
