April 1 (UPI) -- The SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology company will attempt to launch 27 satellites into orbit Tuesday. SpaceX announced in a press release that it will launch one of its Falcon 9 reusable, two-stage rockets at 5:06 p.m. PDT from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, Calif.

The four-person crew, led by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, will spend three to five days on a rare flight path around Earth’s poles.

Elon Musk's SpaceX on Monday was set to launch a crew of four private astronauts led by a crypto entrepreneur on a mission to orbit Earth from pole to pole, a novel trajectory in which no humans have traveled before.
