“At Virgin Galactic, we believe that space is transformational,”
said Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier. “We plan to have our
first 1,000 customers on board at the start of commercial service
later this year, providing an incredibly strong foundation as we
begin regular operations and scale our fleet.”
Virgin Galactic spaceflight reservations also provide access to
the Future Astronaut membership community -- designed and curated
to bring inspiration, excitement, and adventure from the time of
ticket purchase to spaceflight and beyond. Members will enjoy
access to money-can’t-buy experiences, events, trips and
space-readiness activities while they await their spaceflight.
The spaceflight itself launches from Spaceport America in New
Mexico. Starting with several days of spaceflight preparedness
activities, future astronauts will stay with their guests at
forthcoming custom accommodations. Guests will enjoy bespoke
itineraries and world-class amenities during astronaut-specific
training programs.
During spaceflight, astronauts will experience a 90-minute
journey including a signature air launch and Mach-3 boost to space.
The spaceship gracefully flips while astronauts enjoy several
minutes of out-of-seat weightlessness and breath-taking views of
Earth from the spaceship’s 17 windows. Upon return from this
transformational experience, astronauts will begin a meaningful
journey to create positive impact with the perspective that can
only come from seeing our beautiful planet from space.
To mark the launch of public sales, Virgin Galactic unveiled a
new, iconic consumer brand, designed to capture the love, wonder
and awe of the experience of viewing Earth from space, and to
inspire generations of future astronauts around the world.
The newly unveiled brand identity features the spaceship; the very
definition of engineering excellence, a celebration of pioneering
design, and an icon wholly unique to the Virgin Galactic
spaceflight experience.
“We have developed a compelling and effective sales process to
support the growth of our commercial business,” said Blair Rich,
President and Chief Business Officer, Commercial and Consumer
Operations. “A global, commercial spaceline demands an iconic and
timeless brand. It is important that our brand represents our
dynamic customer offering, and speaks to our unique experience,
style and service.”
Spaceflight reservations are a total price of USD $450,000.
Following an initial deposit of USD $150,000, customers will make
their final payment before their flight. Those interested in
spaceflight reservations can visit www.virgingalactic.com to start
