It was declared at the presentation, that already in 2009 takes place the first orbital flight Of spaceShipTwo with the passengers aboard, whereas the test flight of new ship takes place still earlier - in the second half of 2008.


The flight Of spaceShipTwo by the cost of 200 thousand dollars will last two hours. Maximum flight altitude SS2 will be 135-140 km, which will make it possible to increase the time of weightlessness to 6 minutes (in the previous model Of spaceShipOne 2 times less).

For space flight eight people can leave simultaneously (2 pilots even 6 passengers). Even with this high price, demand for the space tourism exceeds proposal. Today all places to the first 20 flights of particular spacecraft have already long ago been bought up. Virgin galactic accepted payment in the size of 200,000 dollars from more than 200 well-off passengers, who wished to the pair of minutes to prove to be in weightlessness. Representatives Virgin galactic noted that among these 200 tourists there are 7 citizens of Russia.
