Journey Into Space
• Orbital space
tourism
opportunities have
been limited and
expensive, with only
the Russian Space
Agency providing
transport to date.
Space tourism is space
travel for recreational,
leisure or business
purposes. A number
of startup
companies have sprung
up in recent years, such
as Virgin
Galactic and XCOR
Aerospace, hoping to
create a sub-orbital space
tourism industry.
• Russia halted orbital
space tourism in 2010
due to the increase in
the International Space
Station crew size, using
the seats for expedition
crews that would have
been sold to paying
spaceflight
participants.Orbital
tourist flights are
planned to resume in
2015.
As an alternative term to
"tourism", some
organizations such as the
Commercial Spaceflight
Federation use the term
"personal spaceflight". The
Citizens in Space project
uses the term "citizen space
exploration".
As of September 2012,
multiple companies are
offering sales of orbital and
suborbital flights, with
varying durations and
creature comforts
• The publicized price for flights brokered by Space
Adventures to the International Space Station aboard
a Russian Soyuz spacecraft have been US $20–40
million, during the period 2001–2009 when 7 space
tourists made 8 space flights. Some space tourists
have signed contracts with third parties to conduct
certain research activities while in orbit.
• The company has already
signed up more than 600
people who aim to fly to
suborbital space aboard
SpaceShipTwo, at a
current price
of$250,000 per seat. "For
Galactic, 2015 is the year
that we plan to go to
space, and start operating
commercialy," said Virgin
Galactic CEO George
Whitesides.
A day on the Moon lasts 29.5 of our Earth days. In
other words, if you were standing on the surface of
the Moon, it would take 29.5 days for the Sun to
move entirely through the sky and return to its
original position.
• Depends on where in
space and the speed of
the aircraft … The
shortest trip to the
Moon took place in
January 2006 by the
NASA Pluto probe New
Horizons. With the
speed of 58,000 km/hr,
it only took 8 hours and
35 minutes to get to
the Moon from Earth.
Journey Into Space
• Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the densest
planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar
System's four terrestrial planets, and the only
astronomical object known to harbor life.
• According to evidence from radiometric dating and
other sources, Earth was formed about 4.54 billion
years ago.[ Earth gravitationally interacts with other
objects in space, especially the Sun and the Moon.
During one orbit around the Sun, Earth rotates
about its own axis 366.26 times, creating 365.26
solar days or one sidereal year.
