How:
We use ex-military jets to simulate space flight conditions. The L-39
and MiG-21 share many characteristics of jets used by NASA to prepare
astronauts for space travel. Flight profiles have been designed to
demonstrate the type of sustained g-forces and weightlessness you’ll
experience during a suborbital flight.
Why:
The more prepared you are for the physical and mental demands of spaceflight,
the more you’ll enjoy your suborbital flight. We think you’ll love
your training flights in the L-39 and MiG-21, but there’s a slight
chance you’ll discover you can’t tolerate high Gs or don’t like being
weightless. If that’s the case, it’s better to find out now, before
you pay $ 200,000 for a suborbital flight. Besides...this training
is a lot of fun.
What
if?:
You
don’t have to be planning to leave earth soon to enroll in space flight
training. If you want to know what it’s like to train like an astronaut,
you can. The program is open to anyone who meets basic eligibility
requirements.
Where:
The ground portion of our training takes place at Bob Hope Airport
in Burbank, California, near Los Angeles. Flights take place in air
space designated for subsonic and supersonic training flights.
When:
Training is typically offered on weekends and is available year round.
Advance scheduling is necessary.
Know:
You must pass an FAA medical prior to participating in this program.
Phase Two of the training (“Supersonic”) cannot be completed unless
you have successfully completed Phase One (“Subsonic”).
