It looks like there's a Russian company, Kosmotur, that is developing a rocket for commercial tourist flights launching somewhere in the vicinity of the Ural mountains. The rocket weighs 80 tons with a spacecraft weighing 7 tons. I'll be intrigued to see if this comes to fruition or not. According to Kosmotur CEO Yakovlev, the agreement signed with the Automatics Research and Production Enterprise at the Innoprom exhibition will make it possible to create a space compound for sending tourists into the Earth's orbit."I am confident that we will get the result, which everyone will see in several years and the Automatics Research and Production Enterprise will be able to expand its commercial market," Yakovlev added. As was reported earlier, Kosmotur, which is developing a reusable spacecraft for suborbital flights, planned to submit the space vehicle's preliminary design to Russia's State Space Corporation Roscosmos for an expert study in April-May. | |
