Virgin Galactic

The rocket motor has been switched off and it is quiet. But it's not just quiet, it's QUIET. The silence of space is as awe inspiring as was the noise of the rocket just moments earlier. What's really getting your senses screaming now though, is that the gravity which has dominated every movement you've made since the day you were born is not there any more. There is no up and no down and you're out of your seat experiencing the freedom that even your dreams underestimated. After a graceful mid-space summersault you find yourself at a large window and what you see is a view that you've seen in countless images but the reality is so much more beautiful and provokes emotions that are strong but hard to define. The blue map, curving into the black distance is familiar but has none of the usual marked boundaries. The incredibly narrow ribbon of atmosphere looks worryingly fragile. What you are looking at is the source of everything it means to be human, and it is home.

AURORA STATION - SPACE HOTEL

During your 12-day adventure on Aurora Station, you will fly at a height of 200 miles above the Earth's surface in Low Earth Orbit, where where you will witness incredible views of the blue planet. The hotel will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, which means guests will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. Travelers will complete a three-month Orion Span Astronaut Certification (OSAC) program before take-off. More Information

Space Walk Mission

We invite you to become the first private citizen to walk in space. This is an entirely unique opportunity – a historic moment that will never be matched. Relatively few astronauts and cosmonauts have ever left the confines of the space station, but all agree that it is an unforgettable experience. Extra Vehicular Activity, often referred to as a spacewalk, is one of the pinnacles of human spaceflight. Even for cosmonauts and astronauts, the opportunity to leave the space station and float above the Earth is a rare and inspiring experience

Lunar Mission

Make history as the world's first private lunar explorer. Witness Earth rise as you emerge from the far side of the moon. Become a catalyst for humankind's expansion into space. The first private expedition to the moon. We invite you to join us for the most significant private expedition of our time - launching the first private mission to circumnavigate the moon. This mission builds on space technology originally developed for manned lunar missions, and has been flown over decades as part of the world’s most successful human spaceflight program. You will begin your journey to the far side of the moon by first launching aboard a Soyuz spacecraft. Then, a subsequent launch will occur of an unmanned rocket booster. Your spacecraft will rendezvous with this additional system in low-Earth-orbit. The engagement of the two will provide your spacecraft with the required propellant to travel to the moon. Once the firing of the booster is complete, the two systems will separate and you will continue on your majestic journey.

Fly a MiG-31 to the Edge of Space

"I can feel the acceleration and enormous power of the engines behind me. I actually feel (and look) like an astronaut. My body is completely protected by a special G-suit. With a full-face helmet, hermetically closed, I breathe only 100% pure oxygen pumped inside. I'm strapped into the ejection seat in the front cockpit . Alexander is in a separate cockpit, behind and above me. We can't see each other, we can only talk via the radio. But we don't talk much anyway. As we climb higher and higher, the view becomes more and more breathtaking, almost surrealistic. I've never seen anything like it before. Among all the instruments in front of me, I pay attention to only two: the speed indicator which shows Mach 2.8 and the needle on the altimeter indicating 27.000. In other words, we are flying at a speed of more than 3000 km/h at an altitude of 27 kilometers- almost three times higher than Boeing 747 normally flies. The area know as “ near space.” Few civilians ever have the opportunity to even touch a sophisticated military vehicle such as the Mig-31 – let alone fly one “at speed” under military power and protocols.
