5 Day Qualification Program
After receipt of deposit, Participants will be scheduled for their
5-day qualification program in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan
area which includes medical screening and aeronautical education.
Your Accommodations
Upon arrival, you'll be met at the airport and transferred to the

Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa, internationally acclaimed
for its contemporary design and award winning restaurant. You'll
have the opportunity to meet other prospective Participants and
take advantage of the many amenities that Sanctuary has to offer.
Qualification Program, Orientation & Spacesuit
The next day begins the qualification program and will include further
screening and orientation, aeronautical education, and the history
of flight. Spacesuit fitting and familiarization of the helmet will
also take place prior to beginning the medical evaluation.
Medical Screening & Preparation for High Altitude
RocketShip Tours has made arrangements with respected physicians
and experts of the Aerospace
Medicine Program at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona to
provide medical screening and evaluation for Lynx flight Participants.
The Mayo Clinic has a rich history and legacy in Aerospace Medicine,
including development of life support systems in World War II for
acceleration protection (G-suits, M-1 Anti G straining maneuver),
high altitude protection (oxygen masks, pressure suits) and current
work in the area of spatial disorientation, high altitude and acceleration
tolerance.
Aerospace Medicine Experts
Led by Dr. Jan Stepanek, Medical Director of the Aerospace Medicine
Program, the Mayo Clinic specialists have firsthand experience and
training in high performance environments and pre-flight medical
assessments. Participants will appreciate the personalized approach
and comfortable atmosphere at the Mayo Clinic's state-of-the-art
facility.
Qualification Festivities
During the final evening, an esteemed ASU Professor of Astronomy
will bring his powerful telescope to a celebration dinner and give
a brief lecture. You'll have the unique experience of stargazing
from the top of Sanctuary, which promises to be awe-inspiring and
an unforgettable highlight of your qualification program.
