You will take apart at one of the greatest adventures of mankind.

V.I.P. in Star City, Zero G Flight onboard a Russian Ilyushin 76 MDK and lift off Soyuz-Rocket at cosmodrome Baikonur - Kazhakztan.

An high class adventure!

Feel the friendly hospitality of the people in the Russian city Star City. Walk on the steps of the history of Russian space flight to the present and the future. You will visit the facilities of the GCTC (Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre). Here international cosmonaut- and astronaut-groups, Russians, Americans, Europeans and Japanese and people from other countries are trained for their steps into space.
After that, you will fly to the Russian cosmodrome Baikonur/Kazhakhztan. You will see the different launch-pad's of the Russian space flight. From here since Yuri Gagarin 1961, over 1.200 space-crafts were lifted off.

The feeling of weightlessness! Surely you have dreamed already once, to leave the gravitation of the Earth and float freely by the interaction of the different forces. You will go onboard a Russian Ilyushin 76 MDK, the trainings-jet for parabolas - to feel the absolutely weightlessness. The machine takes you on 6,000 meters flight altitude. Then it rises in the steep 45 degree of angles with full power in the height and you feels 2 G, before you can imagine all the power, the pilots of the Ilyushin 76 MDK takes the thrust away, from this moment you fell weightlessness! After years you experience for the first time the feeling, which astronauts and cosmonauts experienced, if they worked in the earth orbit or flew also to the Moon.

The cargo-bay of the machine is particularly protected, thus you did not hurt yourself if you fly around. Experienced instructors of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (GCTC) from Star City, instructs you into the secrets of weightlessness.

After 25 seconds the Earth's gravitational force has catch you again! After some minutes the pilot of the Ilyushin begins again to rise up in a 45 degree angle of attack …

During the flight you experience this absolutely singular feeling between 12 - 15 times. Approx. 15 parabolas are flown and after this experience you belong to still among 1.000 humans of the Earth, which could experience this feeling.

Since 1998 the first module of the International Space Station, the largest project of manned space flight since the moon flights of the Americans between 1968 and 1972, is in space. 16 nations are able to put there their scientific know how there together, to settle up the greatest outgard of mankind. Since then the ISS is further developed and build, it can be ready in the years 2007/2008.

Then, the absolute high point of your journey: the start of a manned mission to the International Space Station ISS. 2 or 3 daring cosmonauts and astronauts from different nations go on board a Soyuz TMA, and within 8 minutes they are with their space craft in Earth orbit. 2 days later they will dock with the ISS. You will see the lift off preperations, and watch the liftoff in a distance of approx. 2.000 meters beside the powerful Soyuz rocket. Nowhere else in the world, you can see a liftoff of an spacecraft nearer then here.
