    Year-round Departures

    Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center

    Ride second-seat in the Foxbat Mig-25 to 80,000 feet - where 99% of Earth’s atmosphere is below you. From the cockpit of a MiG-25, your view directly overhead fades into the darkness of space. Below you, the curvature of Earth is awesomely apparent, and the horizon is 715 miles (1100 km) across. Flying at Mach 2.83, or one mile every two seconds, a trip in the MiG-25 "Foxbat" pulls a 4.5 G loop.

    Deep-Sea Thermal Vents

    Departing August 29 or September 11 from Acapulco, Mexico

    This summer, be one of the first non-scientists to dive to the bottom of the ocean and explore a truly alien hidden world. A world that has been called one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th Century. Deep Ocean Expeditions sets sail for Nine North, a vent site located 500 miles off the coast of Mexico at nine degrees North latitude in the Pacific Ocean, 8,600 feet below the surface. Along with a team of deep-ocean ecologists and other scientists, we'll travel to these immense hydrothermal chimneys, some reaching five stories tall, where we'll find ourselves in a wonderland of alien marine life.

    $4,950USD Non-divers. / $23,950USD MIR divers

    Space Station Passenger Flight or Sub Orbital Space Flight

    Wanted: Taller Space Travelers for Sub-Orbital Space Flight

    And now, at the dawn of the third millennium, the final frontier is finally within our reach. We anticipate space tourism flights aboard one of many RLV choices to begin within the 2003-2005 timeframe.

    Sub-orbital space flight is possible by collaboration with several independent corporations who are each developing their own version of a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). At present, 7 different contractors are at various stages of research and design, seeking FAA approval. With these many options, we anticipate space tourism flights aboard these RLVs to begin within the 2003-2005 timeframe. All sub-orbital flights will be preceded by a detailed four-day flight preparation and training program. This highly focused and inspiring pre-flight program will familiarize you with the RLV flight program, critical vehicle systems, flight operations, zero-gravity training, in-flight gravity loads, and space flight safety procedures.

    Reservations will be held for $10,000 down with intermediate payment schedule - Total fare: $98K
