Services Expected for the First Phase of Space Tourism

Published:	15-24 May, 1994
Author:	Patrick Collins Toyohiro Akiyama I Shiraishi T Nagase
Origin:	19th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science, ISTS 94-g25p, Yokohama Japan.

Abstract:	As part of the Japanese Rocket Society's current feasibility study on space tourism, this paper considers the services that should be offered during the first phase of such a business, namely providing short flights lasting just a few orbits. Companies offering such a service will need to plan several aspects carefully, including selecting orbital flight paths that offer interesting views of Earth, designing convenient seating and window arrangements, providing space for passengers to enjoy weightlessness, and making attractive vehicle interior designs. These considerations will be fed back to the JRS Sub-Committees studying vehicle design and general flight plans for space tourism.
