Space Perspective has provided more details behind the design of the capsule that will allow for photo tourism at the edge of space.
The company says that thanks to its patent-pending capsule design, space travel is about to get safer, more comfortable, and “even more thrilling.” The new Spaceship Neptune capsule is now in production at the company’s facility near its Operations Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida., it said it would send tourists into the stratosphere in a slow, two-hour ascent aboard a climate-controlled, pressurized capsule attached to the company’s gigantic SpaceBalloon.
The space lounge also features an enhanced and patent-pending “splash cone” for a gentle and safe landing after the journey concludes — after the balloon stays at altitude for two hours it then descends over the course of two more hours, at which point a ship will retrieve the passengers, capsule, and SpaceBalloon.
Space Perspective’s Taber MacCallum , Founder and Co-CEO, and Peter Tinkham , Manufacturing Specialist, in the testing lab, inspect a section of carbon composite exterior manufactured for Spaceship Neptune. “The pioneering 360-degree windows will be accompanied by satellite imagery and 360-degree cameras to zoom in and out on the incredible vista. We now also have an exterior aesthetic that is every bit as powerful as the interior revealed in April — the engineering team have delivered an unsurpassable outcome in relation to performance and safety.”
