Zephalto's partner in the project is the French space agency CNES.
French company Zephalto sells unusual tours to the "edge of space", inviting its clients to dine at record heights and admire the views of the Earth.
The first trips to the stratosphere in a specially designed capsule will take place in late 2024 - early 2025, but all tickets for the first flights are already sold out. The cost of a trip in the Celeste capsule will be about $130 thousand. At present, only tickets for mid-2025 and later are available for advance booking.
As part of the trip, the capsule will be able to provide a flight altitude of 15.5 miles for six passengers. With an ascent rate of 4 meters per second, the tablet will reach its maximum altitude in an hour and a half.
On board Celeste will serve gourmet food from a Michelin-starred chef and carefully selected wines from a renowned sommelier.
Zephalto's partner in the project is the French space agency CNES. The company has already completed three test flights and plans to bring its space tourism format to other countries.
