Space Perspective presented the design of the “Neptune” spacecraft capsule.

The capsule of the spacecraft “Neptune” is a drop-shaped sphere with panoramic windows. Those who will be inside it will have an almost 360-degree view.

The windows and the central part have a light-reflective coating. This allows to limit heat and keep cool in the cabin. In addition, a special thermal control system is installed.

It is noted that no elements are disconnected from the capsule, which also increases safety.

What the capsule will look like inside became known back in April. The interior of the “Neptune” spacecraft is designed with contemporary finishes made from environmentally friendly materials. Inside, the capsule looks more like a modern living room than a spaceship. Deep folding seats are installed, Wi-Fi is available, there is a bar, a toilet. You can freely walk around the salon and take photos.

It is assumed that the “Neptune” spacecraft will take travelers to Earth's orbit and back as part of a six-hour excursion.

Commercial flights will begin at the end of 2024, but flights are fully booked for the first year, and Space Perspective is taking bookings for 2025 and beyond.

Tickets cost 125 thousand dollars per person.
