Space tourists in private spacecraft

Proposed orbital ventures

* SpaceX is a private space company which is developing their own rocket family called Falcon and a capsule named Dragon, capable of sending up to seven people to any space station. Falcon 1 has already undertaken testflights and successfully completed its first commercial flight on July 14, 2009, deploying the Malaysian RazakSAT into orbit. Falcon 9 (which will be the rocket for the Dragon capsule) was first launched June 4, 2010, at Space Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral. An initial prototype of the Dragon capsule was used on that test flight, and a pressurized cargo version of the capsule was used in the next test flight, which also returned for recovery on December 8, 2010. SpaceX anticipates that Dragon could be qualified for human spaceflight within 3 years of the receipt of NASA CCDev funding. On May 25, 2012, an uncrewed variant of Dragon became the first commercial spacecraft to successfully rendezvous with the International Space Station.

* Boeing is building the CST-100 as part of the CCDev program and intends to fly tourists. The CST-100 is planned to be launched by an Atlas V rocket.

* Space Adventures Ltd. have announced that they are working on DSE-Alpha, a circumlunar mission to the moon, with the price per passenger being $100,000,000.

* Excalibur Almaz, a private company based in the Isle of Man, plans to use modernized TKS space capsules to carry paying research crews into low Earth orbit and beyond. In June 2012, it announced it was ready to sell tickets for private expeditions to the moon, and expects to undertake the first of these voyages by 2015.

Several plans have been proposed for using a space station as a hotel:

* American motel tycoon Robert Bigelow has acquired the designs for inflatable space habitats from the Transhab program abandoned by NASA. His company, Bigelow Aerospace, has already launched two first inflatable habitat modules. The first, named Genesis I, was launched July 12, 2006. The second test module, Genesis II, was launched June 28, 2007. Both Genesis habitats remain in orbit as of March 2012. The BA 330, an expandable habitation module with 330 cubic meters of internal space, is expected to be ready for launch by 2014-15. In 2004, Bigelow Aerospace established a competition called America's Space Prize, which offered a $50 million prize to the first US company to create a reusable spacecraft capable of carrying passengers to a Nautilus space station. The prize expired in January 2010 without anyone making a serious effort to win it.

* The Space Island Group have set out plans for their Space Island Project, and plans on having 20,000 people on their "space island" by 2020, with the number of people doubling for each decade.

Suborbital flights projects

SpaceshipOne is the first privately funded and constructed spacecraft to fly above the 100 km Kármán line.

* On October 4, 2004, SpaceShipOne, designed by Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites, won the $10,000,000 X Prize, which was designed to be won by the first private company who could reach and surpass an altitude of 62 miles (100 km) twice within two weeks. The altitude is beyond the Kármán Line, the arbitrarily defined boundary of space.[40] The first flight was flown by Michael Melvill on June 21, 2004, to a height of 62 miles, making him the first commercial astronaut.The prize-winning flight was flown by Brian Binnie, which reached a height of 69.6 miles, breaking the X-15 record.

* Virgin Galactic, is planning to begin passenger service aboard the VSS Enterprise, a Scaled Composites SpaceShipTwo class spacecraft. The initial seat price is $200,000, with a required down-payment of $20,000. To date, over 500 people have signed up. Headed by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, Virgin Galactic hopes to be the first private space tourism company to regularly send civilians into space. A citizen astronaut will only require three days of training before spaceflight. SpaceShipTwo is a scaled up version of SpaceShipOne, the spacecraft which claimed the Ansari X Prize. Launches will initially occur at the Mojave Spaceport in California, and will then be moved to Spaceport America in Upham, New Mexico. Tourists will also be flown from Spaceport Sweden, in Kiruna.

The spacecraft will travel 360,000 feet (109.73 km/68.18 miles) high. This goes beyond the internationally defined boundary between Earth and space of 100 km. Spaceflights will last 2.5 hours, carry 6 passengers, and reach a speed of Mach 3. SpaceShipTwo will not require a space shuttle-like heat shield for atmospheric reentry as it will not experience the extreme aerodynamic heating experienced during reentry at orbital velocities (approximately Mach 22.5 at a typical shuttle altitude of 300 km, or 185 miles). The glider will employ a "feathering" technique to manage drag during the unpowered descent and landing. SpaceShipTwo will use a single hybrid rocket motor to launch from mid-air after detaching from a mother ship at 50,000 feet, instead of NASA's space shuttle's ground-based launch.

* XCOR Aerospace is developing a suborbital vehicle called Lynx. The Lynx will take off from a runway under rocket power. Unlike SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo, Lynx will not require a mothership. Lynx is designed for rapid turnaround, which will enable it to fly up to four times per day. Because of this rapid flight rate, Lynx has fewer seats than SpaceShipTwo, carrying only one pilot and one spaceflight participant on each flight. XCOR expected to roll out the first Lynx prototype and begin flight tests in 2013. If all goes well, it is hoped that Lynx will carry paying customers before the end of 2014.

o Citizens in Space, formerly the Teacher in Space Project, is a project of the United States Rocket Academy. Citizens in Space combines citizen science with citizen space exploration. The goal is to fly citizen-science experiments and citizen explorers (who travel free) who will act as payload operators on suborbital space missions. By 2012, Citizens in Space had acquired a contract for 10 suborbital flights with XCOR Aerospace and expected to acquire additional flights from XCOR and other suborbital spaceflight providers in the future. In 2012 Citizens in Space reported they had begun training three citizen astronaut candidates and would select seven additional candidates over the next 12 to 14 months.

o Space Expedition Corporation was preparing to use the Lynx for "Space Expedition Curaçao", a commercial flight from Hato Airport on Curaçao, and planned to start commercial flights in 2014. The costs were $95,000 each.

* Armadillo Aerospace is developing a two-seat vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) rocket called Hyperion, which will be marketed by Space Adventures. Hyperion uses a capsule similar in shape to the Gemini capsule. The vehicle will use a parachute for descent but will probably use retrorockets for final touchdown, according to remarks made by Armadillo Aerospace at the Next Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference in February 2012.

* EADS Astrium, a subsidiary of European aerospace giant EADS, announced its space tourism project on June 13, 2007.

Virgin Galactic

The first rocket-powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo took place on April 29, 2013, when Mark Stucky, pilot, and Mike Alsbury, co-pilot, initiated an engine burn of 16 seconds duration.

Virgin Galactic themselves don't publish a list of their customers. 13 December 2005 Virgin Galactic announces its first 100 space tourists. 19 March 2012 Virgin Galactic announced another great achievement when they confirmed that they have just booked their 500th passenger/astronaut - Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher. During its first flight the spaceship was piloted by Pete Siebold, assisted by Mike Alsbury as co-pilot.

The passenger list has been compiled from various public online sources.

It is known that the first flight will go to the same Sir Richard Branson with their children.

The popular Canadian singer Justin Bieber is going to participate in one of the missions of the rocket plane Enterprize (SpaceShipTwo). This was reported by the owner of Virgin Group Richard Branson on his twitter.

In flight the popular singer will go along with his manager Scooter Braun. For the upcoming tour Bieber has already made a deposit in the amount of 250 thousand dollars.

Application for participation in the mission of Virgin Galactic submitted more than 500 people. Among them are celebrities such as actors Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks and Ashton Kutcher, as well as scientist Stephen Hawking and singer Katy Perry. Moreover, the applications filed several Russians, including banker Basil Klyukin and co-owner of "Euroset" Timur Artemyev with his wife.
