Tourists in Space

"Space tourism promises to become the most exciting and dynamic industry of the next few decades. But to be successful, every participant in the space tourism industry, from operator to traveler, must be aware of what to expect and how best to prepare for these amazing voyages." "Tourists in Space serves as a handbook, reference guide and training tool for all potential spaceflight participants. It uniquely explores the cutting-edge technologies, spacecraft capabilities, launch vehicles and the training that will define this commercial enterprise, and also provides a manual for future suborbital and orbital private space explorers. It looks at the choices the spaceflight participant must make, such as agency, mode and spaceport, and describes the mission architectures and enabling technologies of the primary suborbital and orbital companies."--BOOK JACKET.
