Circumlunar Mission

The farthest flight from the Earth that any private citizen can experience.

The 1960’s and 1970’s saw major achievements in exploration and research of the moon. The focus then shifted to other areas of space discovery, but since the mid-90’s, attention has been returning to the moon, with commercial spaceflight companies as well as government institutes making significant headway in crewed and robotic lunar flights and landings.  

Travelling to the moon is not only an exclusive and rare opportunity but it offers private astronauts the chance to significantly benefit human civilisation by gathering scientific data, developing space travel technologies and engaging and inspiring the high-tech workforce of tomorrow. So much is yet to be discovered and lunar missions are fundamental in furthering our knowledge of the solar system, the universe and of our own planet.

SpaceX Starship

SpaceX are currently developing and testing their reusable Starship spacecraft and launch rocket with a circumlunar flight scheduled for private astronaut and Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa, along with eight other civilians, in 2023.  

This fully reusable rocket system offers other private citizens the opportunity to repeat this week-long lunar circumnavigation and marks an exciting step in the future of human spaceflight.
