6 STEPS TO SUBORBITAL SPACE
Ready to take off? Get your ticket into Space.
You are One Small Step, away from beginning your journey!
STEP 1) Contact Us to take your first ‘Small Step’ to space today, by paying a fully refundable registration fee of US$1,000. This will move you to the front of line for new seats when they become available.
STEP 2) Once the seats become available, We will contact you with a firm Giant Leap offer, where you will have an incredible opportunity to confirm your journey to space. Small Step registrations are limited, so if you are serious about becoming an astronaut, Call us today to take that first step forward! Craig Curran, our Virgin Galactic Accredited Space Agent, will guide you through the Giant Leap spaceflight reservation process when new seats are released.
Once you are firmly booked, you will become a full member of the exclusive Virgin Galactic Future Astronaut Community, opening up a new world of connections and experiences as you prepare for your journey to the black sky.
STEP 3) Participate in preflight training. Though there’s no age limit (the oldest customer is 84), passengers must undergo medical exams to assess their fitness to fly. At the three-day astronaut experience at Spaceport America in New Mexico, you’ll be issued a Philippe Starck-designed space suit, undergo g-force and possibly weightlessness training, and learn more about your mission.
STEP 4) Prepare for takeoff. While friends and family await your return in the spaceport’s lounge, you’ll board the sleek spaceship with five fellow passengers and two pilots. Don’t worry – every seat has a window view. The spaceship is berthed to the Eve, the mother ship (named for Branson’s mother), a twin-boom jet airplane made of 100 percent carbon composite material. After takeoff you’ll fly to 50,000 feet and hear a countdown. When the spaceship releases and its hybrid rocket motor fires up, it will accelerate into a vertical climb; in ten seconds you’ll reach Mach 1 (the speed of sound) and in 30 seconds you’ll be at Mach 3.4 – literally faster than a speeding bullet. After 90 seconds‚ the pilots will cut the motor and the spaceship will continue to climb to its peak altitude of 360,000 feet – 68 miles above Earth.
STEP 5) Enjoy the view. Six miles above the space border, you’ll experience total silence – and zero g, floating weightlessly throughout the cabin for the next four to five minutes. Through the windows, look back at Earth and see our planet’s curvature meeting the total blackness of space. Astronauts report humbling awe and a sense of responsibility as they comprehend the frailty of the thin blue line that is our atmosphere and the magnitude of our universe.
STEP 6) Return to your seats – and an entirely new perspective. Pointing back toward Earth, the spaceship embarks on a thrilling 90- second reentry, peaking at nearly 6 gs. The spaceship’s wings, which have been neatly “feathered” up throughout the flight, will rotate back to their usual position to glide you safely back to Earth to collect your astronaut wings. One thing is quite certain: You will exit that spacecraft achanged person.
