The dawn of the ‘new space age’ has captivated the world’s imagination, with recent successful space tourism trials and exciting innovations. Gone are the days when the cosmos were solely explored by government-led initiatives.
Today, we witness the ascent of commercially developed and operated space travel, often spearheaded by tech billionaires. The future of space travel presents an open frontier, inviting private enterprises to redefine human exploration beyond Earth’s boundaries.
Virgin Galactic
On 29 June 2023, Virgin Galactic made history by launching its first commercial space flight successfully. This remarkable achievement marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey. It has not only completed a successful fully-crewed space flight but has also begun selling tickets for ‘sub-orbital’ journeys. Virgin Galactic’s commitment to space tourism is evident in the construction of its astronaut training campus in New Mexico, setting the stage for the commencement of commercial operations in 2023. These groundbreaking developments are ushering in a new era of space travel where private enterprises redefine human exploration beyond Earth’s boundaries.
Space Perspective
Florida-based company Space Perspective is pioneering the development of a carbon-neutral spaceship for tourism. Propelled by renewable hydrogen, this innovative craft will transport tourists to the edge of space, offering a unique perspective on our planet and the cosmos beyond. Their environmentally conscious approach exemplifies the direction of future space travel.
Hilton and Voyager Space
In a surprising alliance, Hilton is collaborating with Voyager Space, the developers of the Starlab space station located in Denver. This ambitious project aims to replace the International Space Station (ISS) by 2027. Hilton’s involvement extends to designing the crew quarters for this innovative station, reflecting the increasing role of the private sector in shaping the future of space exploration.
Relativity Space
Los Angeles-based Relativity Space has revolutionized rocket manufacturing with the world’s largest 3D-printing factory. Their cutting-edge technology enables the production of space rockets in a fraction of the time taken by traditional methods. Having successfully launched an almost entirely 3D-printed rocket (85%) in March 2023, Relativity Space is poised to make further advancements in space travel technology.
Axiom Space
Axiom Space, headquartered in Houston, is pioneering the development of a commercial space station. This venture holds the promise of facilitating both industry applications and space tourism. Additionally, Axiom Space is competing to replace the ageing ISS, signalling a shift toward privately operated space habitats.
The future of space travel is entering an era of commercialisation and innovation, where private enterprises are taking centre stage. As we witness unprecedented achievements in space tourism, rocket manufacturing, and space station development, it’s evident that the cosmos is no longer the exclusive domain of government agencies.
