Space Perspective Reveals Capsule Designed to Take Passengers to the Edge of Space

The design of the spherical capsule was knowledgeable by hundreds of digital flight exams and simulations, in response to an emailed assertion. Space Perspective collaborated with Siemens Digital Industries on the design. The capsule options reflective coated home windows, a thermal management system for sustaining constant temperatures all through the six-hour journey, and a splash cone for water landings.

“Centuries of balloon and parachute operation and development demonstrate that always flying with the balloon from launch through landing, with traditional parachutes as a reserve backup system, is by far the simplest, safest and most robust solution,” Taber MacCallum, the founder, co-CEO, and CTO of Space Perspective, stated within the assertion. “Our proprietary flight system means that the capsule and SpaceBalloon always remain connected, and take-off and landing conditions are always within our control.”
