No. You do not have to be a spaceflight ticket holder to train with us.

Orbite is dedicated to preparing anyone who is passionate and curious about space or looking for the next great space adventure experience. We strongly believe that individuals should train prior to purchasing a ticket – “try before you buy” – so that they can maximize their experience and decide which space mission is best for them.

There are different levels of space training programs based upon your personal interest and/or space mission goals.

Astronaut Orientation is a great introductory program that provides foundational space education and training on what it takes to go to space and gain familiarization on what each different spacecraft and mission experience is like from stratospheric balloons to suborbital vehicles, to orbital missions around the moon.

Suborbital Training is focused on short duration suborbital flight and is an extremely useful program to ensure your few precious minutes in space are maximized and enjoyed.

Orbital Training is our more intensive program which focuses on preparing trainees for the mission critical activities required for longer duration orbital spaceflight.

Each training class has a maximum of ten (10) participants, and can be tailored based on your training and spaceflight objectives. Each class has a lead and assistant instructor and is supported by subject matter experts throughout the program

Orbite’s mission is to prepare everyone to travel to space and our training programs have been designed to accommodate most performance levels. Our trained experts and medical staff will work with each individual and evaluate their spaceflight readiness and may recommend consulting a physician to see if this experience is appropriate for you.

Generally speaking, you must be at least 14 years of age, in good health, and be able to perform basic physical and mental tasks — like pulling an object toward you or critical thinking. We can also develop special training sessions to meet specific age, fitness or medical requirements.

Please refer to each program description or talk to one of our team of astronaut trainers to explore what training is best for you and what requirements might be imposed. You may reach our team at reservations@orbitespace.com. 

All training programs will take place at one of our dedicated Orbite Campus locations.
