Crew Dragon Resilience reaches 1,400 km , or nearly 780 miles altitude.

Apollo missions to the moon traveled farther from Earth , but not part of a low- Earth orbit mission.

Apollo 13 astronauts hold the distance record for Earth during their aborted moon landing mission.

The spacecraft is now heading to an orbit that will be at a maximum orbit of about 470 miles .

This is to avoid decompression sickness from the spacewalk. The flight also will feature a tech demonstration with SpaceX’s Starlink satellites allowing for laser communication between the spacecraft and one of the orbiting satellites. In addition, the crew are performing more than 30 science and research experiments. 2024 Orlando Sentinel . Visit at orlandosentinel.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency , LLC ..
