Your journey begins with a pre-flight medical check to ensure that the flight's physiological changes will not adversely affect you. (Early studies indicate that the majority of applicants will not be restricted from space flight by health or fitness considerations.) Next, you will need to attend each of our three training courses for pre-flight preparation. After that, your reservations are made!

Our flights are launched from our main facility in Southern California . You will board the Icarus 1023, which is attached to the mothership, NGT-302. Once pre-flight preparations and checks have been successfully completed, the launch is a “go”.

NGT-302 rocket boosters fire up and are launched, carrying the Icarus 1023 just above the Earth's atmosphere to a sub-orbital level. NGT-302 breaks off and the engines are powered down, leaving the Icarus 1023 spacecraft in a relaxing state of quiet. It is at this point that passengers are encouraged to remove their safety harnesses to fully enjoy and experience four minutes of zero gravity and the astounding view of Earth from space.

The pilot will announce that it is time to return to your seat and reapply your safety restraints for the ride back to Earth. You will experience the g-forces as the Icarus 1023 begins its descent and is glided safely back to the planet's surface.

Safely landed, you and your fellow space tourists are then welcomed to return in the evening to the Induction Ceremony. This dinner celebration graces each new space explorer with a bottle of champagne, a pin (an honorary set of gold Icarus Wings) and a complete video of the experience aboard the Icarus 1023.
