Jared Isaacman — record holder for “Farthest Distance from Earth Reached by a Jewish Person”.NASA/Bill Ingallsimages.nasa.govDomaine public
Définition officielle du record
The greatest maximum altitude or distance from Earth reached during a crewed spaceflight by a natural person satisfying JWR Jewish Eligibility at Achievement.
Méthodologie de mesure
Official postflight Polaris Program and SpaceX reporting gives maximum apogee 1,408.1 km above Earth’s surface (874.9 miles). This measured mission maximum is preferred over the earlier preliminary 1,400.7 km orbital figure also reported by other sources.
Point de mesure: Maximum altitude (orbital apogee) above Earth’s surface during Polaris Dawn, 11 September 2024.
L’histoire du record
During the Polaris Dawn mission, commander Jared Isaacman travelled to a peak orbital altitude of 1,408.1 kilometres (874.9 miles) above Earth’s surface, according to the official final SpaceX and Polaris Program mission reports. The crew reached this maximum orbit on 11 September 2024, the day after the launch. This was the highest crewed Earth orbit achieved since the Apollo era and the farthest humans had travelled from Earth since 1972. JWR’s record is specifically for the greatest verified distance from Earth reached by a Jewish person, rather than the highest orbit in general. The comparison includes Apollo-era lunar travellers and all subsequent crewed missions; no qualifying Jewish astronaut was identified on a flight extending beyond Polaris Dawn. The mission also made history with the first commercial spacewalk, conducted at a lower altitude later in the flight. The Record Value shows only the officially reported peak altitude, with kilometres followed by miles.

- JWR Verification Standard 1.0
Preuve de l’accomplissement
NASA’s current Isaacman biography records Polaris Dawn’s 870-mile orbit as the highest crewed orbit in more than 50 years and the farthest humans had traveled from Earth since Apollo 17. Postflight official Polaris mission press release 15 Sept 2024 and SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission report specify 1,408.1 km (874.9 miles), reaching peak orbit on 11 Sept 2024. This is an altitude above Earth surface (not geocentric distance).
Preuve de supériorité
Jewish astronaut chronology and Apollo-era screening found no eligible Jewish lunar traveler or other Jewish crew member reaching a greater distance before Polaris Dawn.

Les preuves d’éligibilité juive, d’accomplissement et de supériorité conservent leurs classifications distinctes et ne sont jamais fusionnées. Le contexte et la provenance ne sont pas présentés comme preuve de l’accomplissement. Les preuves à diffusion restreinte et les notes de recherche internes ne sont jamais publiées.
