Overview of the Neptune ExcellSyr Spacecraft
Established in Florida, Space Perspective has unveiled its final version of the Neptune ExcellSyr spacecraft for exhibition. This spacecraft boasts luxurious seating arrangements and a conventional resting area.
Unlike other space tourism companies using rockets, this capsule is attached to a large balloon, ascending to 32 kilometers above the Earth's surface and lingering at the edge of the stratosphere for up to two hours.
As far as volume, this case is two times the size of Cosmic's SpaceShipTwo and Blue Beginning's New Shepard, and multiple times bigger than SpaceX's Group Mythical serpent.
The company is planning test flights for the spacecraft and its large balloon after completion. The first human-based trial will take place by the end of this year.
In a statement released by the company, it was mentioned that for the first time, a window of such magnitude combined with ample space will provide passengers with a panoramic view of the world.
The diameter of Neptune is 16 feet, providing a pressurized volume of over 2,000 cubic feet.
