We are really excited about our partnership with Virgin Galactic as these spectacular flights offer a truly unique and amazing experience. To view a video of the space flight, click here.
The Experience
Virgin Galactic sub-orbital space trips promise to be the most intense and wonderful
experiences that our clients have ever had. Astronauts of the past 45 years have all returned
to earth struggling to convey the enormity of what they have discovered and with their
perceptions clearly changed.
Virgin Galactic astronauts will spend 2 to 3 days of training at or near the Virgin Galactic New Mexico Spaceport before embarking on their sub-orbital flight, although the first flights will depart from Virgin Galactic Mojave Spaceport. You will fly in SpaceShipTwo (SS2) designed and built by Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites and based on SpaceShipOne which has completed 3 sub-orbital flights and won the X Prize in 2004.
SS2 will be carried by a revolutionary mothership called WhiteKnightTwo. She will climb to a height of around 50,000 feet (approximate cruising altitude of Concorde) where SS2 will be released before firing her rockets and accelerating in a vertical climb reaching a speed of 3.3 mach. Shortly afterward SS2 will slow to allow you to enjoy zero g and continue to climb to a total altitude of 110km or 360,888 feet – that’s 10 kilometers or 33,000 feet into space! After enjoying some of the most spectacular views and sensations ever experienced by humankind, the wings of the spacecraft will feather to allow a safe re-entry at around 6 g’s. After re-entry the wings will re-configure to allow a gentle glide back to the spaceport. On your return to Earth you will be given your Virgin Galactic astronaut wings!
The cost of the flight is US$200,000 and there are a few deposit options available that link to the order in which Virgin Galactic astronauts will fly along with the level of involvement they wish to have with Virgin Galactic project. Please contact Lindsey Wallace at Linara Travel for more information and details.
Lindsey Wallace of Linara Travel was recently selected as one of the very few Virgin Galactic accredited space agents in the World.
