In Russia, working on the first "space yacht"
They have been talking about space travel for years. Some lucky ones even managed to “tear themselves away” from habitats habitual for humans and visit the ISS. And relatively recently, we wrote about a space project гостиницы from Orion Span, which should be implemented as early as 2021.
And now, on the eve, representatives of the NGO “Aerospace Technology"Told the publication" RIA News"About the brainchild of domestic designers, which was called the" Space Yacht Selena ". The ship will be able to take on board 6 passengers and rise to a height of 120-140 km.
It is assumed that the flight will be carried out offline. However, in the cockpit, nevertheless, there will be a pilot, for the comfort of passengers. During the trip, “space tourists” can not only enjoy the view of their native planet from the side, but also feel the state of weightlessness.
Several companies are working on Selena at once. The advantage of the ship is that it is able to take off and land like an airplane, using any airfield. At the moment, developers are calculating the optimal flight duration, a comfortable trajectory and time in zero gravity.
The first flights are planned to be organized within five years. The ticket price will be 200-300 thousand dollars. For comparison, a trip to the ISS costs $ 40 million, and accommodation in a future hotel from Orion Span - 9,5 million.
