Questions

Before you fly

Do I need to be an athlete?

No. You need to pass a flight medical similar to a commercial pilot's, and be able to tolerate 4.5 g in the centrifuge. Our oldest astronaut so far was 74.

What happens if the launch is delayed?

Your seat moves to the next attempt at no cost. If you can't make the new date, you can transfer to a later mission or get a full refund.

How safe is it?

The capsule has a launch escape system that works from the pad to orbit, and has flown six crewed missions with every crew returned safely. We publish a full safety report after every flight.

Can I bring anything with me?

Each astronaut has 1.5 kg of personal items, plus cameras we provide. Everything is inspected and packed by our team.

The view is worth the three weeks.
