Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission to the International Space Station in March 2019 was a success, along with SpaceX’s spacecraft’s launch escape system. This prompted Space Adventures, Inc. to enter into an agreement with SpaceX to fly private citizens on the first Crew Dragon free-flyer mission. During this mission, up to four individuals will have the opportunity to break the world altitude record for private citizen spaceflight and see planet Earth the way no one has since the Gemini program.

One the interested parties are secured, this mission will be the first orbital space tourism experience provided entirely with American technology. They’ll fly aboard SpaceX’s fully autonomous Crew Dragon spacecraft launched by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, which will also be used to transport NASA astronauts to the International Space Station.

Creating unique and previously impossible opportunities for private citizens to experience space is why Space Adventures exists. From 2001-2009 our clients made history by flying over 36 million miles in space on eight separate missions to the ISS. Since its maiden mission in 2010, no engineering achievement has consistently impressed the industry more than the Dragon/Falcon 9 reusable system. Honoring our combined histories, this Dragon mission will be a special experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity – capable of reaching twice the altitude of any prior civilian astronaut mission or space station visitor,” said Eric Anderson, Chairman, Space Adventures.
