Amsterdam, The Netherlands, February 20, 2002 – MirCorp, the premier space exploration company confirms it has entered into discussions with Mr. Lance Bass for coordinating his possible flight on an upcoming Soyuz mission.

The discussions are taking place between Mr. Bass and MirCorp’s media partner, Mr. David Krieff of Destiny Productions in Los Angeles.

MirCorp has fought for the past several years to open the exploration of space to all. We believe firmly that the excitement and beauty of this frontier should not be limited to a handful of professionals.

We look forward to working with the Russian Space Agency Rosaviakosmos to reach an agreement allowing Mr. Bass to realize his dream.

Should that agreement take place, we will also require permission from the ISS partners. We believe they would supportive of this unique mission that, if implemented, could introduce a new generation to the excitement of space exploration.

MirCorp is also in discussions with other candidates, as are other companies. All of these candidates would be ideal for the November Mission.
