• Space tourism- Sustainability

3. Space Tourism
• Space tourism is the term that’s come to
be used to mean ordinary members of the
public buying travelling to and from space
by buying tickets like an airline.

4. As on Earth, So in space
 Because people want it
 It’s realistic objective
 And not least
 Because it will be fun
 Leisure activity
 Limitless resources

5. “Nothing could have
prepared me for the beauty
of the view. It was
breathtaking – watching
the Earth from above
without seeing borders,
wars and divisions and
realising how fragile the
planet is. Every world
leader should make the
trip. They’d start to see
things differently.”
Anousheh Ansari

10. • In 1997, NASA published a
report concluding that selling
trips to space to private
citizens could be worth
billions of dollars.
• A Japanese report supports
these findings, and projects
that space tourism could be
a $10 billion per year industry
within the two decades.
• The only obstacles to opening
up space to tourists are the
space agencies, who are
concerned with safety and the
development of a reliable,
reusable launch vehicle.

12. Several Commercial Companies have been involved in
preparation for a burgeoning Space Tourism market:
• Armadillo Aerospace
Suborbital Spacecraft
• Space Dev
Dream Chaser – Jim Benson designer passed away
• Blue Origin
New Shepard - Manned Rocket
Jeff Bezos
• Rocket Plane XP
Sub-Orbital flights
• Virgin/Scaled Composites
Virgin Galactic
• Space Fleet
Space Vehicles
• Space X
Falcon & Dragon Capsule

13. Virgin Galactic- Space Ship 2
• A brave project by virgin
galactic.
• Designed by famous American
spacecraft designer Burt
Rutan.
• Carried up to 15km by a
multibodied plane called
White Knight 2, designed by
Rutan.
• Highest speed 4000 km/Hr
• Will take off from Space port
America, New Mexico, first
space port ever for private
sector space tourism.

14. • Space ship 2 will carry it’s
passenger to a tremendous
height of 115 km, across the
Karman line.
• 5 minutes experience of ‘
Zero gravity’
• 2 hours space tour will cost
you 200000 $ !
• Already 530 people booked
their seats.
• 1st commercial flight of SS2 is
planned to take off at the
end of year 2014.
• 6 passenger and two pilots

15. The future

16. • The Average cost of a space package was $20 million .
• Virgin, Rocket Plane and others are selling Space trips
from $0.2 million
 Cost of going to space down 99% since 2009
• Virgin estimates that after 1,000 trips cost will come
down to $20,000 – another 90% reduction, this may take
15 more years.
• Bigelow is testing inflatable structures in Space right
now
• Boeing has announced entry by 2015
• Russians have announced a Space Hotel by 2016 (ISS
without the science equipment)
• Point to Point opportunities will abound (Xmas at the
Ice Hotel, new years in Cape Town – travel time 2hrs)
• space tourism could be a $10 billion-per-year industry
within two decades

17. Space sport
• Table-Tennis
• Badminton
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Water sport
(In zero gravity orbit)
• The Big Event

18. How to prepare
• Before you take your Flight into space you are required to
pass a physical to make sure you can handle the stressful
conditions of space flight.
• Space tourists should begin training several days to a few
weeks before the tests. A regular exercise program is
mandatory as part of a space tourists preflight training. A
proper diet is also necessary to pass the preflight medical
check-up. Excess alcohol and caffeine should be avoided.
Smoking should also be avoided.

19. These people can’t be space tourists:
• Minors
• People with physical impairments or disabilities that
may prevent them from safely evacuating a space station
or ejecting from an aircraft
• People with serious heart problems
• People with serious coronary artery disease
• People with major diseases affecting their organs
• People with severe vertigo or claustrophobia

20. Other than passing a physical exam, space tourists have
to learn about some “elementary scientific topics.”
• Space Tourists have to have a basic
understanding of Astrodynamics. Space tourists
should know:
• What is an orbit?
• What is gravity?
• What is escape velocity?
• What is weightlessness (microgravity)?

21. Categories of Food
• Rehydratable (R) Foods - During the flight, water is added back to
food just before it is eaten.
• Thermostabalized (T) - Foods are heat processed to destroy harmful
microorganisms and enzymes.
• Intermediate Moisture (IM) - Food items that are preserved by
restricting the amount of water for microbial growth yet, giving the
food a soft texture.
• Natural Form (NF) - Ready to eat foods such as nuts, cookies and
granola bars.
• Irradiated (I) Meat - beef steak
• Condiments - liquid salt and pepper, ketchup, and mustard.
• Shelf Stable Tortillas - Tortillas that have the oxygen removed to
prevent the growth of mold on them.
• Fresh Foods (FF)- normal hydrated foods that need to be eaten
within the first two days of flight to prevent spoilage.
• Beverages (B) - drinks

22. Space Tourism and Sustainability - Conclusions
• Space Tourism is a growing industry
• Sustainable Development reflects real problems
• Sustainable Development is a business opportunity
• Space Tourism links directly to Sustainable Development
through:
 operations
 culture
 economics
 resources
 survival

23. Space tourism and sustainability- Conclusion
 Large parts of the Sustainable Development “industry” will oppose
the idea of Space Tourism
 If the Space Tourism industry sees Sustainable Development as just
as a “compliance issue”, then it will face considerable opposition
 Need to mitigate risks by:
 Designing sustainability into operations and systems
 Making the case that space is a vital part of sustainability
 A rare opportunity to design Sustainable Development into a new
industry from the start

24. Conclusion

25. Going to space was once a dream that was
considered impossible and the dream has
already come true. May be in the future
every human will go to space as a part of
their daily chores. Nothing in dream is
really that hard to be impossible! So
don’t get upset with your dreams. Dream
more, wish more.
