Space Adventures announces Spaceport for Singapore
February 21, 2006 Space Adventures, together with a Singapore-based
consortium, announced today that it plans to develop an integrated
spaceport in Singapore that will offer suborbital spaceflights, as well
as operate astronaut training facilities and a public education and
interactive visitor center. It is the second spaceport announced by
Space Adventures in the last week, the other to be located in Dubai. The
focal point of the proposed Spaceport Singapore will be suborbital
spaceflights. As each suborbital vehicle reaches its maximum altitude of
100 kilometers, passengers will experience up to five minutes of
continuous weightlessness, all the while gazing at the blackness of
space set against the horizon of Earth. The spaceport will be build in
the near vicinity of Changi Airport.
