it home reported on september 12 that at around 8 pm beijing time on september 12, spacex stated that the "polaris dawn" spacewalk mission had been completed, marking the first time that commercial astronauts completed a spacewalk from a commercial spacecraft.

the spacewalk was performed by astronauts jared isaacman and sarah gillis of the polaris dawn mission.designed to test spacex's new space suit.

it home noticed that at 6:01 a.m. eastern time, isaacman and gillis began to prepare for the spacewalk. they checked all their equipment and put on spacex's extravehicular activity suits. since extravehicular activities will expose them to the outer space environment, all four astronauts must wear this suit. before opening the hatch, the cabin was filled with pure oxygen to check the tightness, and then the air in the spacecraft was exhausted and isaacman opened the hatch. the dragon spacecraft's camera captured his figure with the earth as the background, and then he carried out a series of movement exercises as planned, aimed at testing spacex's new extravehicular activity suit, and then returned to the dragon spacecraft. "back on earth, we still have a lot of work to do," he said, "but from here, the world is so perfect."

later, spacex engineer sarah gillis also went out of the cabin to practice moving. after completing the task, the team closed the hatch and re-pressurized the dragon spacecraft. after checking and confirming that there was no leak, the spacewalk mission was officially over.

this spacewalk was an important milestone in spacex's commercial space exploration. it successfully verified the performance of the new space suit and laid the foundation for more complex space missions in the future.
