The American company Space Perspective has presented the design of a capsule for tourist flights into space in a hot air balloon. Tickets for the space cruise are on sale now, with the first flights scheduled to begin in 2024.
The capsule will rise into the stratosphere in a balloon, Space writes. The Neptune's flight will last about six hours, the capsule will rise to a height of up to 30 km. The board has capacity for nine people: the pilot and eight passengers.
The capsule will be spherical in shape, allowing for a panoramic view from the windows. Previously, Space Perspective presented the interior of the capsule. Inside there will be a bathroom with a view of outer space, a living room with a telescope.
The capsule is being built at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. According to the company's expectations, the first flights will take place in 2024. Space Perspective has already sold 900 tickets for $125,000 each.
