Private space travel has become a reality. Companies such as Space Adventures, Virgin Galactic, and Scaled Composites are actively building the systems to take passengers to space, and are already booking the first seats. California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates are beginning the design and construction of the spaceports that will accommodate thousands of space passengers each year in the next decade.
However, space flight differs dramatically from commercial airline flight in that the space passenger is subjected to significant physiological stresses. While these stresses are well within human tolerance, targeted training is required to prepare space travelers, both crew and passengers, to cope with them.
The NASTAR Center is uniquely positioned to serve the training and research requirements of the growing private space industry. Backed by Environmental Tectonics Corporation's 35 years of experience building advanced technological systems and The Aeromedical Training Institute's world-class research support and training curricula, The NASTAR Center stands ready to provide training and research solutions for travel into the next frontier - space.
