International Space Station

The International Space Station remains a shining example of what international cooperation can accomplish. FrontierSpace is proud to offer regularly scheduled flights to the International Space Station in cooperation with NASA and Roscosmos. Participants will be taken to the ISS and back aboard a FrontierSpace capsule and stay aboard the ISS alongside government astronauts. Please note that these trips are not for everyone- participants must meet stringent requirements and costs still remain higher than other options.

Itinerary


Applicants must first go through extensive testing to determine their suitability for the program. This usually takes about a month but can take longer depending on scheduling. After passing all tests, participants undertake months of intensive training at FrontierSpace, NASA, and Roscosmos facilities. After being certified for launch, participants are flown to the International Space Station and returned after a stay between two weeks and three months. Because of the unique nature of this program, schedules can vary greatly between applicants.
