Experience Earth from the Edge of Space
Few experiences compare to the emotional and visual impact of seeing our planet from above. Commercial spaceflight offers a front-row seat to this breathtaking perspective.
Ways to View Earth from Space:
- Suborbital Flights
Reach 80–100 km above Earth and enjoy 3–5 minutes of weightlessness. - Stratospheric Balloon Flights
Float to ~100,000 ft (~30 km) and watch the curvature of Earth in luxury. - Orbital Missions
Circle the Earth every 90 minutes. See sunrises, auroras, and continents drift by.
