How do I choose the right space training program?
We offer different levels of space training based on your interests and 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 flights and is an extremely useful program to ensure your few precious minutes in space are maximized and enjoyed.
Orbital training, our most intensive program, prepares participants for longer missions with critical skills and activities essential for orbital spaceflight.
How many people will be in my training program?
Each training class has a maximum of ten (10) participants unless it is a mission-specific crew team. Each class will also have lead and assistant instructors and be supported by experts throughout the program.
Can I reserve an entire training class for colleagues, friends, or family?
Yes, you may book an entire space training program for a group with a maximum of ten participants per class. Please reach out to us directly to arrange a group reservation.
How much does each space training program cost?
Program costs vary depending on the experience and duration. Visit our website or contact reservations@orbitespace.com for program cost, details, and itinerary.
