The Polaris Program is a planned human spaceflight program organized by businessman and commercial astronaut Jared Isaacman.[1] Isaacman, who commanded the first all-civilian Inspiration4 spaceflight in September 2021, purchased flights from SpaceX in order to create the Polaris Program. The first two flights will use the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, while the third flight is planned to be the first crewed Starship flight.[1][2]
