The “Starman” mannequin launched by SpaceX in February 2018 aboard the Falcon Heavy rocket is currently traveling through space at a speed of about 35,000 kilometers per hour. As of September 2021, Starman has completed more than 1,600 orbits around the Sun, surpassing its expected orbit of about 557 days.

This ambitious and unique payload has provided scientists with valuable data about the challenges of long-duration space travel and has captured the public’s imagination as a symbol of human ingenuity and exploration.
