Astronaut Training
Join the elite few who have experienced the real sensations of space flight. Undergo authentic training and feel first hand the thrill of launch, the majesty of weightlessness, and the intensity of re-entry forces.

During training, you will learn the dynamics of space travel, the effects of G forces and practice comprehensive techniques used by real NASA astronauts. This will physically and mentally prepare you to handle the physiological stresses that affect your body during space travel. With three unique programs designed to accommodate your developmental needs, you will advance to the next level of difficulty by building upon the essential skills learned in each program with the goal of "earning your wings" as a future astronaut.

The Countdown
In the ultimate journey, the rocket booster ignites sending you screaming towards the stars at MACH 3 (over 3 times the speed of sound)! With genuine satellite imagery, surround sound, and Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo flight profile, you will witness the sky fade from blue to black outside the window of the spacecraft.

As you reach 360,000 feet above the Earth, you will experience weightlessness as SpaceShipTwo rolls gracefully through apogee. There you will behold a life-changing perspective of our planet that until now- has only been seen by only a chosen few. Gravity soon takes hold, pulling you with up to 6 G's of force towards Earth as you reenter the atmosphere. Upon your return to Earth, a lavish awards ceremony awaits as you are minted a newly trained Sub-Orbital Space Flight adventurer.

The NASTARSM Center offers the following Sub-Orbital Space Flight packages:
