Space Adventures has curated a suite of private spaceflight experiences to suit all interest levels and budgets
Some will carry you off this planet to visit mankind’s only outpost in space – the International Space Station – or as far as the Moon and back

Space flight is achieved with the flight-proven Russian Soyuz rocket system

 

Space Flight Training

Held in Star City just outside of Moscow

Train in the same facilities used by the cosmonauts to fly the Soyuz system

All space adventure clients receive the best training available from the men and women who use the system everyday

 

Space Walk

Space Adventures has arranged all eight of the flights to space completed by private citizens to date

All of the clients have flown to the International Space Station on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, and have lived and worked alongside professional astronauts for 10 days or more

If you choose to fly to space on the Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft, you have the opportunity to extend your stay on the ISS and conduct a spacewalk, accompanied by a professional cosmonaut

 

Launch Tours

Whether you are contemplating your own flight to space, or simply looking for a hard to find experience, this is a great opportunity to learn about the Russian manned spaceflight program by watching the preparations for launch first-hand

 

Zero Gravity Flight

The ZERO-G Experience® is an amazing opportunity to experience true weightlessness

Future Lunar Mission

They will come to within a few hundred kilometers of the Moon’s surface

If you chose to join this Circumlunar mission you will see the illuminated far side of the Moon, and then witness the amazing sight of the Earth rising above the surface of the Moon

Pricing was announced at US$100 millionper seat, as of 2007

 

 

Space Adventures wants as many people as possible to experience what it is like to live in space, to circle the Earth, or travel beyond Earth orbit

In the next ten years, their clients will have a choice as to what vehicle to fly to space on, and will be able to choose from multiple different destinations

By providing newly available space experiences and improving existing ones, Space Adventures will continue to lead the private spaceflight industry that it began in 2001 with the flight of the world’s first space tourist, their client Dennis Tito.
