Sub-Orbital Space Flight Introduction – 1 Day

Become and astronaut for a day in this one day program as NASTAR Center takes you on a voyage aboard Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShip2 and into sub-orbital flight!

Your flight instructor will prepare you for the journey of a lifetime in NASTAR Center’s Space Training Simulator, the STS-400. Learn about G tolerance and understand how G-forces affect your physiology during the launch and re-entry phase of the flight. Then in the closest thing possible to an actual sub-orbital space flight, you will drop with WhiteKnight2 and accelerate to over 3 times the speed of sound in SpaceShip2 as you rocket towards space to an altitude of 360,000 feet. There at apogee, you will enjoy the precious moments of serenity floating about the cool blue curvature of the Earth before re-entering the atmosphere. You will have sustained up to 3 Gs during your own personal space adventure and upon arrival back on solid ground is a celebration complete with pinning of the wongs ceremony and mementos of your out of this world experience.

 

The Complete Sub-Orbital Flight Training – 2 Days

In the classroom, you will become immersed in the dynamics of space travel, the effects of G tolerance factors including G-LOC (G-Induced loss of Consciousness), and learn comprehensive techniques used by both pilots and astronauts alike to handle the G-forces that will affest your physiology during the extremes of sub-orbital flight.

With twice the flight time and twice the G-forces than the 1 Day Program this is comprehensive training program includes four inteses and exhilarating flights on the STS-400.
