Fram2 Mission and Fram2Ham Payload Overview
Fram2 is a pioneering private astronaut mission, the first to fly astronauts over the North and South poles launching next week from a Falcon 9 rocket at the Cape. Fram2 will give the four on-board astronauts unprecedented first views of the polar regions from space.  While astronauts on the ISS can see a large portion of the Earth, it is not possible to see these upper regions of Earth from the ISS.  Fram2 is planned to be launched no earlier than March 31, 2025 and is planning a 3 day mission with an optional 2 day extension.

The amateur radio experimental payload on Fram2, called Fram2Ham, is also pioneering in nature.  It represents the first use of human spaceflight amateur (ham) radio in polar orbit and the first amateur radio transmissions from a SpaceX Dragon capsule. Fram2Ham operations are being performed by private astronaut Rabea Rogge, amateur radio callsigns LB9NJ (Norway) and KD3AID (USA).

Fram2Ham will transmit Slow Scan Television (SSTV) picture images from space to radio receivers on the ground as part of a high school and university student competition. These SSTV images can also be received by radio enthusiasts (hams, educators, and youth) worldwide and posted to the ARISS SSTV Gallery—but with a twist. Images posted will not be shown until after the Fram2 mission. These operations support the youth SSTV competition, where they are to acquire several SSTV “Puzzle Pieces,” assemble the puzzle, determine the polar location, and answer questions related to that location.
