Fram2 is an upcoming crewed space mission of the Crew Dragon spacecraft to low Earth orbit, operated by SpaceX on behalf of Chun Wang. It is set to be the first crewed mission to fly over the Earth's poles. Announced for 2024, the mission will send two women and two men into orbit for a stay of three to five days. The mission is commanded by Chun Wang, who is financing the entire flight, and will carry three other private passengers selected by him, along with a scientific payload..[1][2]

Named Fram2 in reference to the polar exploration ship Fram, the mission is intended to study the Earth's poles and their space environment. It will be a free-flight mission of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, without docking to a space station. The selected spacecraft is Endurance (another polar exploration reference), which will be equipped with the panoramic cupola from Inspiration4. The mission is scheduled for late 2024, around the December solstice, to allow optimal observation of Antarctica. It will launch from Florida, either from the LC-39A launch pad at Kennedy Space Center or the LC-40 pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The mission will enter a low Earth orbit (between 425 and 450 km) with a polar inclination (90°), allowing it to fly over both of Earth's poles. It will aim to observe and study the STEVE phenomenon and conduct experiments on the human body, including the first X-ray of a human in space.
