Case Study: Virgin Galactic Training
Client: Sir Richard Branson
Date: 12/3/2007

Billionaire Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group and space flight company, Virgin Galactic, trained for his Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo flight (expected to launch in 2010) at The NASTAR Center. So far, nearly 200 people, 18 to 88 years of age, have completed space training at The NASTAR Center. As limited knowledge exists on how the 'general public' will fare at 6 G's of force (6 times your body weight), research has also been collected on space flight participants. As of today, 94% are "GO" for launch!

The NASTAR Center offers the closest space flight experience available on Earth by using theĀ Space Training Simulator (STS-400). The NASTAR Center’s Space Training Programs are uniquely positioned to support medical screening, spaceflight qualification and space flight training for crew, researchers and passengers.

Due to the dynamic capabilities of the STS-400, vehicle developers can upload, fly and test their unique flight profiles. Paired with customizable cockpits and comprehensive training programs, The NASTAR Center provides an informative and “tangible” space flight experiences for government and commercial space organizations, and their clients.
