With an astronaut as your host, experience the thrill of a live countdown and launch at the
Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Your heart will race as seven million pounds of thrust launch the Space Shuttle and its
crew of astronauts into orbit at speeds of more than 17,000 miles per hour. The billowing
white vapor trail and thunderous engine roar will not be forgotten and neither will the rest
of your fascinating tour. You will see the Kennedy Space Center up close and with VIP
access to the Space Shuttle launch pads and the landing facility. Our exclusive tours
feature former NASA astronauts as guest lecturers who will teach you firsthand about the
Kennedy Space Center and the Shuttle Launch experience. Through their insight you will
learn behind-the-scenes details and hear personal stories about the United States space
program. Your memories of this tour will last a lifetime.
Due to launch delays and schedule changes dictated by NASA, such as weather
constraints and other factors outside of Space Adventures' control, viewing of a launch
cannot be guaranteed. The following policies apply:
* A non-refundable deposit of 20% of the price is due at the time of reservation.
* The balance of the total package price is due 90 days prior to departure.
* In the event that the launch schedule is officially changed 45 or more days prior to the
beginning of your scheduled Space AdventuresTM tour program, Space Adventures
will transfer the itinerary to the new dates. At this point, reserved participants may
elect either to: (1) transfer their reservation to another shuttle program date, or (2)
hold their reservation in the current program, accepting the new dates.
* In the event that the launch schedule is officially changed within 45 days of the
beginning of your scheduled Space Adventures tour program, the program dates will
NOT be changed. The entire tour program will go forward as scheduled and will
include all activities except for the actual launch viewing.
* Client cancellation within 90 days of program commencement will result in forfeiture of
the entire package price.
* Under no circumstances will Space Adventures be held responsible for additional
arrangements and expenses incurred with re-scheduled airfare and/or extended
accommodations that result from any change in the launch dates or program
dates as specified above.
Due to Space Shuttle launch delays and
schedule changes, we recommend the
purchase of changeable airline tickets.
