Space Adventures Sees Wide Range of Public Space Travel

摘要

Private spacewalks, customer stopovers at commercial Earth orbiting outposts, and public flights to the Moon are all part of Space Adventures Chief Executive Eric Anderson's vision for the growing space travel market.rnOver the last decade, Space Adventures, headquartered in Vienna, Va., has offered an array of spaceflight experiences to astronaut wannabes, including: parabolic aircraft flights that provide customers short stints in a mi-crogravity environment, simulated Soyuz launch and landing profiles via centrifuge, neutral buoyancy tank training to simulate space-walking conditions, as well as eight-days of cosmonaut overview training that is primarily held at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia.
