Joining Maezawa on his 12-day journey aboard the ISS are veteran Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin, who will command the mission, and Maezawa's manufacturing assistant, and videographer Yozo Hirano, who will seize footage of the style mogul as he floats across the orbiting space station.
"I'm so curious 'what's life like in space'? So, I am planning to find out on my own and share with the world on my YouTube channel," Maezawa stated in a latest assertion.
This mission exemplifies the drastic shift the worldwide space business has taken up to now decade. Such space tourism missions have occurred earlier than — particularly eight comparable missions for rich thrill seekers launched to the ISS within the 2000s, all organized aboard Soyuz capsules by US-based firm Space Adventures. But such missions took a hiatus after NASA's Space Shuttle program retired in 2011, leaving Russia's Soyuz spacecraft as the one possibility for transporting even skilled astronauts to the ISS.
But now, Elon Musk's SpaceX has stepped in to supply extra transportation to the space station for US astronauts, liberating up space for vacationers. And the broader space tourism sector is booming. Recent journeys to space for rich adventurers have included a charity fundraising journey for 4 vacationers aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule in September, and a number of other journeys to space — together with by billionaire space firm founders Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson — on transient, suborbital rocket rides that brushed the sting of space.
The ISS has already welcomed a pair spaceflight novices this 12 months. A Russian actress and director spent 12 days on the space station in October to movie a part of a film in a historic first.
You may additionally acknowledge Maezawa's title, as he first grabbed worldwide headlines in 2018 by asserting separate plans to hitch a trip on a forthcoming SpaceX spacecraft, known as Starship, to the moon as quickly as 2023, alongside eight artists of Maezawa's selecting. Those plans are nonetheless within the works, however he apparently opted to get his toes metaphorically moist within the space journey milieu by reserving this mission to the ISS as nicely, which orbits only a couple hundred miles above Earth.
Maezawa and Hirano, each spaceflight novices, needed to enter a three-month coaching routine for his or her flight, and Maezawa shared snippets of his not-always-pleasant experiences on social media.
But the coaching was much less intense than a few of the earliest missions, Shelley stated. "When [millionaire] Dennis Tito flew back in 2001, his training was quite long. I think it was six months or more, because nobody had really done it before," he stated. "Over the years, we've been able to trim some of the fat out of the training requirements."
Maezawa, Hirano and Misurkin will return from the ISS on December 19, flying on the identical Soyuz capsule as the primary leg of their journey. If all goes based on plan, they will parachute to a touchdown in a distant space of Kazakhstan, as is commonplace process for a Soyuz flight.
