Rocketplane and Incredible Adventures to Offer Suborbital Flights
Incredible Adventures, the Sarasota,
Florida-based company best known for offering supersonic MiG flights and
Rocketplane Limited, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation dedicated to
revolutionizing space travel, have signed a marketing agreement. Both
companies will begin taking reservations for Rocketplane’s suborbital
spaceflight experience, slated to launch in 2007.
“We’re ready to start taking flight reservations — and our customers will
fly in the order in which they sign up,” said Incredible Adventures President
Jane Reifert. “We’ve been looking for a company capable of fulfilling the
space dreams of our clients for more than a decade. We’re confident we’ve
found that company in Rocketplane Limited, Inc. I’ve met the engineers. I’ve
seen their facilities. It takes a lot to impress me, but the Rocketplane team
has.”
Rocketplane is developing a commercial space vehicle that will depart from
the Oklahoma Spaceport and take space travelers 100 km above Earth, where they
can view the planet from space and experience the sensation of weightlessness
for up to four minutes. The Civilian Astronaut Spaceflight Experience is
currently priced at $99,500.
Incredible Adventures has been a leader in promoting the development of
space tourism and will add the suborbital flights to its catalogue of one-of-
a-kind holidays for thrill-seekers.
“Incredible Adventures is a world-renowned leader in marketing high-
adventure programs,” said George French, Rocketplane Limited, Inc.’s President
and CEO. “We have been very impressed with the quality of work they perform,
and look forward to a long and plentiful relationship with Incredible
Adventures.”
Incredible Adventures has been selling space adventures since 1993. The
company offers hands-on training at Russia’s Cosmonaut Training Center, zero-
gravity flights in Moscow and Ft Lauderdale and high-altitude flights in
Russia and South Africa.
