Orbital Flight
Orbital flights are an intense experience. Compared to a suborbital flight, an orbital flight has stricter requirements and costs significantly more, but provides a much deeper experience. Orbital flights are conducted with the Rincewind and Magicboat capsules launched using Thunderhawk rockets. The flights feature days in space experiencing weightlessness and space food. FrontierSpace provides orbital flights that are safer, more accessible, and more cost-effective than the competition.

On launch day, passengers will arrive six hours prior to launch and board two hours prior. After launch, the capsule orbits for between three and seven days and returns to a point near the FrontierSpace facility.
