“I have a newfound sense of wonder seeing the Earth and stars from such an incredible perspective. Certainly, through my training I was prepared for the technical aspects, but I had no idea that I would be flooded with such amazement and joy after seeing my first sunrise and sunset from space and the feeling of continual weightlessness. It was an unforgettable experience that I am truly grateful for and will relive in my mind for the rest of my life." Greg Olsen Oct 2005

Imagine, now, you can fly to the International Space Station without having to be a career astronaut or cosmonaut. Explore, leave gravity behind and immerse yourself in the mission. Experience, the ultimate journey. Achieve, more than you ever thought possible. The ultimate adventure is now within your reach. Become the first British private citizen to make space history. Space Adventures has worked since August 1999 with the Russian Space Agency, RSC Energia, and the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre to develop private flights to the ISS. View the Earth from 250 miles above, seeing many sunrises and sunsets as you hurtle round at thousands of miles per hour. If you have the determination, resources, and can meet the medical requirements you are invited to join this very elite group of space explorers. Your Soyuz-FG rocket will blast you into orbit within 10 minutes of lift off and your capsule will circle the Earth many times during your two day journey to dock with the ISS. You will then join the station for further 8 days or so in orbit, living, eating and sleeping in true Zero-G. Subject to negotiation you may wish to conduct your own experiments, conduct live links to friends back on Earth or simply enjoy the incredible views through the windows, taking your own photographs and video. Within a day of undocking, your capsule will land safely back on the steppes of Kazakhstan (after traveling over 3 million miles, approx 120 orbits), your Astronaut Wings truly earned, the memories lasting you the rest of your life.

DEEP SPACE EXPEDITIONS : THE MOON

DSE-Alpha, the first in a series of lunar missions to be featured in Space Adventures’ Deep Space Expeditions (DSE) programme, is made possible through the company’s long-standing partnership with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation (FSA) and the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (RSC Energia).  The mission will utilize the robust Soyuz spacecraft, piloted by a Russian cosmonaut, and could launch by 2010.  Two commercial seats are available priced at £55 million each.  Before the mission is flown, the required research and development, spacecraft modifications, as well as, the required manned and unmanned test flights will have been completed.
