TOP 5 of Spaceships that are Private and that are in Development
Virgin galactic
Renowned businessman Richard Branson and his virgin galactic company in New Mexico offer space tourists the opportunity of an orbital flight to space on board this ship for the sum of 200 thousand dollars, the plane will take the ship with two pilots and six passengers until an altitude of 16 kilometers from there once the ship will be released from the plane and will ignite its rocket engine to reach 100 kilometers altitude, in full flight the hybrid rocket engine remains on at full power for 70 seconds until reaching a speed of 4000 kilometers per hour, is in that phase when the ship rises to 110 km allowing passengers to enjoy 5 minutes of weightlessness the ship had a system, wings that were folded to reach that height preparing also for the descent once the descent started, the wings would unfold at a height of 23 kilometers to make the plane glide to the surface and land on a rock. This normal and current as the one used by any plane, more than 700 volunteers have signed up for this great experience being the first time to test the ship on a commercial flight that had planned to be carried out for the beginning of 2015, but at the end of the year 2014 during a test flight an explosion in mid-flight ended the life of the co-pilot and the pilot was seriously injured but could eject and save his life, some point to the rocket engine and its fuel to be unstable as one of the possible causes of the explosion.
Excalibur almaz
Excalibur to the most limit based on the island of mann acquired several old reusable return capsules of the former Soviet Union, to take astronauts to the secret space stations these spaceships were designed for the transport of cosmonauts in the 70s, excalibur souls not yet fixed a price for a trip of a week but there are plans to update the design of these Soviet spacecraft with modern technology, the ship consists of a cone-shaped capsule for launch and lease as well as a module optional services vehicles can carry three people a commander and two passengers will allow the trip to the space stations souls derived from the secret Soviet space program missions will allow orbital space tourism and virgin galactic.
Dream Sierra Nevada Chaser
This sierra nevaba corporation company received in 2010 20 million dollars from NASA, under a development competition the commercial crew began to develop the ranger project making a spacecraft for seven person to launch astronauts into space, but after the loss of the recent contract NASA decided to subsidize other private contracts and the right was lost in front of the spacex dragon ship and the cst of the pump company, many thought that the last opportunity for the trench spaceship to make the skies was lost, nevertheless the sierra nevada company does not surrender and has joined forces with stratum launch systems to launch its small shuttle from a giant aircraft according to stratum lounge the first flight of the ship could take place in 2016 while the first orbital launches carried out in 2018.
Cygnus of Orbital Sciences Corporation
The company launches orbital satellites extending d'etudes de virginia is planning to enter the world of space flights with its spacecraft that plus ready for advanced maneuvers launched aboard a rocket taurus 2 cylinder cycles load, incorporates a module of pressurized cargo that can transport up to 2,700 kilograms of supply. The tests of unmanned missions began in 2011 and at present the company obtained a contract of 1,900 million dollars with the NASA, for eight flights of supply to the international space station but in October of the 2014 during the takeoff its fifth mission, the ship The unmanned take-off to the space station exploded in moments after takeoff, and its burning debris fell on the launch pad in Virginia.
Lynx xcor aerospace
California aerospace score, enters the business of suborbital spacecraft with a space plane powered by a rocket called links, the rides aboard small airplanes like this cost 95 thousand dollars with only one pilot and passenger on board each flight, however, the quick response time and two hours of ascent and landing will compensate the size of the small cabin and allow up to 4 flights per day. The suborbital collings ship is still in the process of construction and assembly, but the company says it intends to take tourists one at a time to a height of 100 kilometers on a parabolic flight, also from the company philips has launched an international competition on the occasion of a launch of a new shavers with this promotion philips intends by means of a raffle you take free to the space a person philips has score spaces expeditions so that it is the one in charge to put in orbit the winner and aboard of its spaceship links.
