The World's First Carbon-Neutral Spaceflight Experience

- Our Spaceship Neptune is so tall, in part, because of our SpaceBalloon™, which contributes nearly 104 meters (almost 341 feet) to the overall height. High-altitude balloons were once the only means for humans to reach the upper atmosphere.
- With the successful first flight of Spaceship Neptune-Excelsior (and second overall uncrewed test demonstration) completed; we take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments that have been completed. In just a few short years, our world-class team of engineers

Countless hours of engineering and design by our expert team have gone into the creation of this innovative spacecraft. Here are a few things that make
- Space Perspective has successfully completed a historic flight demonstration of Spaceship Neptune-Excelsior, the fully-operational test vehicle that will take Explorers to space. Around sunrise on Sunday, it launched from the deck of Marine Spaceport (MS) Voyager, propelled by

The USAF defines space as above 80km and the FAI as above 100km. space.com/karman-line-wh….,)%2C%20at%20the%20K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n%20line. - Introducing the all-new capsule design for Spaceship Neptune, now in production at our campus on the FL Space Coast!

- Introducing our first completed test capsule, Spaceship Neptune - Excelsior. Excelsior is now the largest #spaceflight capsule in existence, and soon to be the largest human #spacecraft in operation (excluding the International Space Station). Its spherical capsule is 16 feet

Maxing out at an altitude of 30,000m (100,000 feet), it crosses neither the Kármán line, used internationally, nor the 80 mile line, used by the US Armed Forces. space.com/space-perspect… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kármán_li… - Introducing Spaceship Neptune - Excelsior, our finished test capsule! With the largest windows ever flown to space and a spherical design that allows for the roomiest interior of any human #spaceflight capsule ever made, our spaceship offers the most incredible panoramic views of
- Many people ask what the view looks like at our 100,000-foot apogee. From this height, Explorers will be able to see the thin blue line of the Earth’s atmosphere. More commonly referred to as the “Overview Effect” by authors and astronauts, we call it “The Space Perspective.
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextThe claim "edge of space is misleading" Per their website, the capsule reaches a maximum altitude around 100,000 ft (30km) The FAI defines space as beginning above ~328,000ft (100km) and the USAF/FAA as above ~264,000ft (80km) At most, this is 37.5% to the edge of space. spaceperspective.com/experience en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A1rm… - Space Perspective is grateful for its exceptional crew. Our team has been instrumental in the development of every human spacecraft and human space balloon flight in the past 40 years, with backgrounds at SpaceX, NASA, and Virgin Galactic, to name a few.
