Voila system!
A new Russian initiative, if successful, will fulfill the future fantasies of many about space as a tourist destination. A Russian company today removed the lot from an initial model of a spaceship whose entire purpose is space tourism. at the BBC The company reported that they expect the real spacecraft to be ready for the first commercial flight at the end of 2004 - not for long.
The initial prototype of the commercial spacecraft resembles an airliner. On board the Russian spaceship there is room for three passengers. According to estimates, a ticket for the coveted flight will cost the common man a paltry sum of about one hundred thousand dollars. The initiators of the project believe that the space tourism market is a huge untapped market. In their estimation, there are masses of ordinary people who are willing to pay a lot of money for the vacation of a lifetime.
Currently space travel is not possible unless you are a multi-millionaire or an astronaut. The first tourist in space, Denis Tito paid 20 million dollars for the "vacation package" given to him by the Russians, as part of which he visited the International Space Station.
The new spacecraft will be attached to a special plane that will launch it into space. The lowest orbit the spacecraft will reach is 100 km above the Earth's surface. The flight in the spacecraft will allow passengers to experience the weightlessness of space as they watch the Earth from a black sky. The experience will be quite short and last only three minutes. After that, the spacecraft will make its way on its way Back. Kind of quick.
