Space Perspective completes test capsule for balloon-powered “journey to the edge of space“
Space tourism company Space Perspective has unveiled a test capsule for its Neptune spacecraft that, buoyed by a giant balloon, could carry tourists into the stratosphere starting next year.
The pressurised capsule will embark on its first unmanned test flight over the coming weeks, with the aim to have a human-rated version of the spaceship ready for commercial flights by 2025.
Neptune is “only the third commercial suborbital spacecraft to ever be successfully built“, according to Space Perspective, following Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo and Blue Origin’s Crew Capsule.
