SpaceX has opened seat reservations for flights to the ISS, Moon, Mars and Earth orbit
By ForGeeks SpaceX has begun accepting applications from anyone interested in traveling to space beyond Earth. Travelers are invited to visit Earth orbit and the International Space Station, as well as the Moon and Mars in the future.
The Dragon Capsule spacecraft along with a Falcon 9 rocket will be used for flights to orbit and the ISS, while Starship is planned for missions to the Moon and Mars.
The Dragon Capsule spacecraft will be used for missions to the Moon and Mars.
The company says the Earth orbit tour will last three to six days and will be available for no more than four people. A visit to the ISS is planned for 10 days.
There’s no exact details on the trips to the Moon and Mars yet, but the company says the 12-passenger trip to the Moon will last a week. Details about trips to Mars are not yet known.
Ticket prices have also not been announced, but NASA officials said they paid the company about $55 million (5.05 billion rubles) for a seat aboard the Dragon capsule for its astronauts. Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic offer more affordable rides, but their flight profiles and spacecraft differ significantly from SpaceX’s solutions.
The company has also announced the price of its Dragon capsule.
The first orbital flights are scheduled for late 2024, with tours to the ISS — the following year. More information can be found on SpaceX’s official website.
