The Fram Museum

Fascinating presentations for the Roald #Amundsen Memorial Lectures at the @FramMuseum (best museum in the world) in #Oslo and a 9-course dinner at the foot of beautiful #Gjøa. Thank you Geir Kløver and all your team ❄️❄️

Great talk at @FramMuseum by @ArcticSAONorway on keeping @ArcticCouncil and the WGs going.

At 2 o’clock this afternoon @frammuseum passed the annual visitor record of 373.600 from last year. Currently at 373.768 and counting. The day is not over and we have two months to reach our goal for the year: 400.000. Thanks to all our visitors. @VisitOSLO @visitnorway

Happy birthday Fridtjof Nansen. Born on 10 October 1861. His life and achievements are well know, but if you need an update @frammuseum has everything Nansen and is open every day - no exceptions. #fridtjofnansen

Our new book was sent to print today and will be available in 3 weeks. A Flight to Remember contains #roaldamundsen dramatic personal diary of the attempt to reach the #northpole in 2 #dornier-wals. At 400 pages it includes 300+ original photos, many not published before.

@satofishi @FramMuseum Really cool to be present and contributing to both you and the FRAM2team! 🙏🚀🫡

@satofishi Thank you for your presentation and dedication to exploration of the Polar Regions.

While we all dedicate this moment to celebrating Polaris Dawn’s achievement, we’ve had a wonderful night at @FramMuseum in Oslo, sharing about the upcoming Fram2 mission with the Norwegian polar and space community. More updates will follow soon. 🚀🚀🚀

Very excited about this mission. Love being a part of something so amazing and pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight.

Today reality surpassed my dream! I’m deeply honored to be selected as an astronaut and will serve as the Vehicle Commander for the FRAM2 @framonauts space mission alongside my crew members Chun Wang @satofishi Rabea Rogge @rprogge Eric Philips @Icetrek

I am incredibly honored to have been selected mission specialist for the first human space flight into polar orbit, Fram2! Super excited to be the research responsible and get some cool projects going - stay tuned for updates on the journey and how to get involved soon @framonauts @satofishi @astro_jannicke @Icetrek

Please allow me to quote Steve Jobs’s original iPhone announcement in 2007: “This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two-and-a-half years. Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything.” Yes, I’ve been looking forward to this mission for 2.5 years now. From mission proposal, planning, trajectory design, to crew selection, everything has been done by the customer. And now, here we are! Until 2021, space missions were solely the privilege of governments. Private individuals were unable to charter a Space Shuttle like they would do for an airplane. Then @inspiration4x came along and changed everything. It was a space tourist mission, but unlike any space tourists before it. For the first time in spaceflight history, a private individual could rent an entire spacecraft, planned, designed, and executed their own very personal mission with clear objectives. It should never be underrated. Later, we saw the emergence of the Polaris Program, which is essentially a new Gemini for our time, but this time entirely driven by an individual rather than a government. With Fram2, we aim to open this door even wider. This is the true allure of commercial spaceflight. I’ve read many sci-fi stories about the first human missions to Mars, usually led by NASA or some fictional government. Rarely does anyone dare to imagine such a mission may be carried out privately. But now, I increasingly believe that someday we will reach Mars — and it may be a person, or a company, not a nation, who gets there. A new chapter in space exploration is unfolding before our eyes. Stay tuned! f2.com

So honoured and excited to be flying with the Framonauts on Fram2 - the first crewed space mission to fly over the North and South poles @framonauts @satofishi @astro_jannicke @rprogge

More information on the #fram2 spaceflight on their official website f2.com @framonauts @satofishi @astro_jannicke @Icetrek @SpaceX

@SpaceX @framonauts @FramMuseum look forward to follow your planning and mission. We trust it will as important, spectacular and successful as the expeditions on the original FRAM to the polar regions 130 and 120 years ago.

Fram2 will become the first human spaceflight mission to fly over and explore the Earth’s polar regions from orbit. Learn more about the @framonauts mission here → #fram2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spacex.com/updates/#fram2

@SpaceX launch the first human spaceflight over the polar regions. The mission is named @FRAM2 in honor of the expeditions on #fram to #arctic and #antarctic on #fram. spacex.com/updates/ @FramMuseum look forward to follow the mission.

A wonderful new exhibtion on Science in the Polar Regions opened today at National Ocean Science Museum in Uljin, South Korea. Great to see that #fridtjofnansen and #fram still inspire #polarscientists after 130 years. @AnneKOvind @NorskPolar @NorwayMFA @ArcticSAONorway
