Space Tourism

•Space tourism is the term that’s come to be used to mean ordinary members of the public buying travelling to and from space by buying tickets like an airline.

As on Earth, So in space

Because people want it It’s realistic objective And not least Because it will be fun Leisure activity Limitless resources

“Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of the view. It was breathtaking – watching the Earth from above without seeing borders, wars and divisions and realising how fragile the planet is. Every world leader should make the trip. They’d start to see things differently.”

Anousheh Ansari

• In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips to space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars.

• A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry

within the two decades.

• The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.

Several Commercial Companies have been involved in preparation for a burgeoning Space Tourism market:

• Armadillo AerospaceSuborbital Spacecraft

• Space DevDream Chaser – Jim Benson designer passed away

• Blue OriginNew Shepard - Manned Rocket Jeff Bezos

• Rocket Plane XPSub-Orbital flights

• Virgin/Scaled CompositesVirgin Galactic

• Space FleetSpace Vehicles

• Space XFalcon & Dragon Capsule

Virgin Galactic- Space Ship 2• A brave project by virgin

galactic.• Designed by famous

American spacecraft designer Burt Rutan.

• Carried up to 15km by a multibodied plane called

White Knight 2, designed by Rutan.

• Highest speed 4000 km/Hr• Will take off from Space

port America, New Mexico, first space port ever for private sector space tourism.

• Space ship 2 will carry it’s passenger to a tremendous height of 115 km, across the Karman line.

• 5 minutes experience of ‘ Zero gravity’

• 2 hours space tour will cost you 200000 $ !

• Already 530 people booked their seats.

• 1st commercial flight of SS2 is planned to take off at the end of year 2014.

• 6 passenger and two pilots

The future

• The Average cost of a space package was $20 million .

• Virgin, Rocket Plane and others are selling Space trips from $0.2 million Cost of going to space down 99% since 2009

• Virgin estimates that after 1,000 trips cost will come down to $20,000 – another 90% reduction, this may take 15 more years.

• Bigelow is testing inflatable structures in Space right now

• Boeing has announced entry by 2015• Russians have announced a Space Hotel by 2016

(ISS without the science equipment)• Point to Point opportunities will abound (Xmas at

the Ice Hotel, new years in Cape Town – travel time 2hrs)

• space tourism could be a $10 billion-per-year industry within two decades

Space sport

• Table-Tennis• Badminton• Tennis• Basketball• Water sport (In zero gravity orbit)

• The Big Event

How to prepare

• Before you take your Flight into space you are required to pass a physical to make sure you can handle the stressful conditions of space flight.

• Space tourists should begin training several days to a few weeks before the tests. A regular exercise program is mandatory as part of a space tourists preflight training. A proper diet is also necessary to pass the preflight medical check-up. Excess alcohol and caffeine should be avoided. Smoking should also be avoided.

These people can’t be space tourists:

• Minors • People with physical impairments or disabilities

that may prevent them from safely evacuating a space station or ejecting from an aircraft

• People with serious heart problems • People with serious coronary artery disease • People with major diseases affecting their organs • People with severe vertigo or claustrophobia

•Space Tourists have to have a basic understanding of Astrodynamics. Space tourists should know:

•What is an orbit?•What is gravity?•What is escape velocity?•What is weightlessness (microgravity)?

Other than passing a physical exam, space tourists have to learn about some “elementary scientific topics.”

Categories of Food

• Rehydratable (R) Foods - During the flight, water is added back to food just before it is eaten.

• Thermostabalized (T) - Foods are heat processed to destroy harmful microorganisms and enzymes.

• Intermediate Moisture (IM) - Food items that are preserved by restricting the amount of water for microbial growth yet, giving the food a soft texture.

• Natural Form (NF) - Ready to eat foods such as nuts, cookies and granola bars.

• Irradiated (I) Meat - beef steak• Condiments - liquid salt and pepper, ketchup, and mustard.• Shelf Stable Tortillas - Tortillas that have the oxygen

removed to prevent the growth of mold on them.• Fresh Foods (FF)- normal hydrated foods that need to be

eaten within the first two days of flight to prevent spoilage.• Beverages (B) - drinks

• Space Tourism is a growing industry

• Sustainable Development reflects real problems

• Sustainable Development is a business opportunity

• Space Tourism links directly to Sustainable Development through: operations culture economics resources survival

Space Tourism and Sustainability - Conclusions

Large parts of the Sustainable Development “industry” will oppose the idea of Space Tourism

If the Space Tourism industry sees Sustainable Development as just as a “compliance issue”, then it will face considerable opposition

Need to mitigate risks by:

Designing sustainability into operations and systems

Making the case that space is a vital part of sustainability

A rare opportunity to design Sustainable Development into a new industry from the start

Space tourism and sustainability- Conclusion

Conclusion

Going to space was once a dream that was considered impossible and the dream has already come true. May be in the future every human will go to space as a part of their daily chores. Nothing in dream is really that hard to be impossible! So don’t get upset with your dreams. Dream more, wish more.
