Sub Orbital Space Flight

Location:	Star City (Moscow)

Item:	SU12030BO

Space Adventures will make sub-orbital space flight possible by collaborating with several independent corporations who are each developing their own version of a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). We anticipate space tourism flights aboard these RLVs to begin within 2008-2010 timeframe. All Space Adventures sub-orbital flights will be preceded by a detailed four-day flight preparation and training program. This highly focused and inspiring pre-flight program will familiarize you with the RLV flight program, critical vehicle systems, flight operations, zero-gravity training, in-flight gravity loads, and space flight safety procedures. Prior to the start of regular space tourism flights, each RLV utilized by Space Adventures will be rigorously tested and licensed for operation in accordance with safety standards set by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With the same anticipation and excitement that astronauts and cosmonauts experience before their orbital space launch, our flight specialists will help you don your flight suit and guide you through the final launch checklist. The launch will begin under the watchful eye of the pilot and precise control of system equipment. In an unprecedented sensory experience, rocket motors will boost the RLV beyond the normal limits of flight to regions above 62 miles (100 kilometers). As the RLV nears maximum altitude, the rocket engines will be shut down and you will experience up to five minutes of continuous weightlessness and see the vast blackness of space set against the blue limits of Earth below. To commemorate your completion of this 30-90 minute space experience, we will award you with Space Adventures astronaut wings and a lifetime membership in the Exeo-Atmosphere Club, an exclusive Space Adventures club for those who have experienced space flight first hand.
