"Since Guy Laliberte's mission, there has been an increase of interest by private individuals, organizations and commercial entities seeking ways to access the space station. We have been speaking with these parties about science, education and multi-media programs and hope to make some major announcements in the coming year."
Space Adventures became world-renowned 10 years ago with the launch of Dennis Tito, the world's first privately-funded space explorer. Since then, the company has arranged seven additional missions to the ISS. Cumulatively, our clients have spent almost three months in space, traveling over 36 million miles, and have been true ambassadors in sharing their experience and explaining to millions of people around the world why it's important to explore space," continued Mr. Anderson.
"We are very pleased to continue space tourism with Space Adventures. Also, the addition of a fifth Soyuz spacecraft to the current manifest will add flexibility and redundancy to our ISS transportation capabilities. We welcome the opportunity to increase our efforts to meet the public demand for access to space," said Alexei Krasnov, Director of Human Spaceflight of FSA.
In support of the continued partnership between FSA, Energia and Space Adventures, Vitaly Lopota, President of RSC Energia, commented, "We were first in the space tourism marketplace and we are glad to expand our capabilities by adding a fifth Soyuz and to use these three additional opportunities for commercial flight participants, starting in 2013."
Space Adventures, the company that organized the flights for the world's first private space explorers, is headquartered in Vienna, Va. with an office in Moscow. It offers a variety of programs such as the availability today for spaceflight missions to the International Space Station and around the moon, Zero-Gravity flights, cosmonaut training, spaceflight qualification programs and reservations on future suborbital spacecraft. The company's advisory board includes Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, Shuttle astronauts Sam Durrance, Tom Jones, Byron Lichtenberg, Norm Thagard, Kathy Thornton, Pierre Thuot, Charles Walker, and Skylab/Shuttle astronaut Owen Garriott.

According to the Russian News Network on January 25 reported that the U.S. private space travel, Virginia, Eric Anderson, president recently announced in Munich, Germany in 2015 aboard a Russian "alliance" of the first spacecraft to the moon tour tickets have been sold, tickets price is 1.5 million.
United States, "Space Adventures" Anderson, 23, president of Tourism in Munich, Germany "digital life" speech at the seminar said the first time in human history, from the moon's commercial manned space flight is expected to take place in 2015, visitors will take the Russian private "Union" flying lunar spacecraft now in one of two seats have been sold. He refused to disclose the names of the lunar tourists, but one can guess that he was a famous figure. Company and the second lunar tourists coming to an end of negotiations.
According to the plan, visitors will be accompanied by a Russian astronaut, aboard the Russian "alliance" spacecraft into space. Landing on the lunar surface as the technical requirements are too high, they will only be 100 km away from the lunar surface, the height of lunar flight. "Union" spacecraft capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers into space. Plan "the Moon Tour" from time-consuming and 9 days, of which 3 days are in Earth orbit, up to 5 half days flying around the moon. Anderson said: "We will upgrade communications systems Soyuz, and will increase the window for tourists taking pictures."
