Once validated, the safety system will
be integrated into the rocket that will send fare paying passengers into
space – so that travellers can be safely returned to earth even
in the unlikely event of a major rocket malfunction.
Steve said: “Early next year
we will set out on a nationwide tour with the rocket that will visit
100 schools where we hope to involve as many children as possible,
we want to inspire a future generation of scientists, engineers
and astronauts.”
“Our ultimate aim, though, is to carry people into space and
our latest rocket takes us another step closer to realising that
ambition.”
Starchaser Industries’ space
tourism initiative will enable the public to purchase flights where
they can personally spend 20 minutes in space and experience three
to four minutes of weightlessness. Starchaser astronauts will travel
at 3,500 miles per hour, see the curvature of the earth and join
the likes of Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong as real space pioneers.
You are invited to attend the
unveiling of the Nova 2 rocket outside Maxwell Building, the Crescent,
University of Salford, at 10:00am on Tuesday 1 July.
