The launch is particularly noteworthy as it showcases a human spaceflight that traverses both the North and South Poles. Although many satellites already operate in polar or near-polar orbits, researchers indicated that sending humans on a similar journey is not viewed as a remarkable scientific achievement. Nonetheless, the mission has captured public interest.

Financed by Wang, who has made his wealth in blockchain and cryptocurrency, the mission features three selected companions alongside him. Wang, who became a Maltese citizen in 2023, sported a spacesuit emblazoned with the Maltese flag. The Fram2 team stated that this expedition has the potential to broaden the horizons of human spaceflight and offer enhanced insights into the Earth's polar regions.
