Russia could stop tourist flights to space from 2010April 12th, 2008 - 1:15 pm ICT by admin RIA Novosti Moscow, April 12 (RIA Novosti) Tourist flights to the International Space Station (ISS) could be stopped from 2010 due to a planned increase in crew numbers on the station, the head of the Russian space agency has said. “As part of our current programme, space tourist flights to the ISS will continue. But from 2010, difficulties could emerge due to planned increases in ISS crew numbers to between six and nine members,” Anatoly Perminov told journalists Friday. Space tourists started flying to the ISS in 2001. American Richard Garriott, due to fly to the ISS this autumn, will become the sixth space tourist. Dennis Tito, an American businessman and former NASA scientist, became the first space tourist when he visited the ISS in 2001. He was followed by South African computer millionaire Mark Shuttleworth in 2002, and Gregory Olsen, a US entrepreneur and scientist, in 2005. In 2006, Anousheh Ansari, 40, a US passport holder of Iranian descent and communications head, became the first female space tourist, followed by Charles Simonyi, 58, a US passport holder born in Hungary and a key figure in developing Microsoft’s Word and Excel applications, in 2007. The space tourists paid about $20 million each for the pleasure of spending a week on the orbital station, but Russia said the price for commercial space flights was set to rise in the future, reaching $25 million.

RUSKA svemirska agencija drži da bi astronauti na međunarodnoj svemirskoj postaji (ISS) trebali duže ostajati u svemiru kako bi se stvorila mogućnost dodatne zarade od "svemirskih turista". Rusija trenutno snosi sav teret opskrbe i prijevoza astronauta na ISS nakon što je NASA obustavila letove zbog prošlogodišnje nesreće space shuttlea Columbia. Glasnogovornik ruske svemirske agencije Sergej Gobunov kaže da bi produženjem boravka astronauta u svemiru ruske rakete postale dostupne "svemirskim turistima" koji su spremni platiti 20 milijuna dolara za put u svemir. "NASA nam još nije odgovorila na prijedlog ali mislim da će odlučiti pozitivno", ocijenio je Gorbunov. NASA kaže da je primila prijedlog ruske strane ali još mora razmotriti kako bi produženi boravak astronauta u svemiru djelovao na njihovu psihu i zdravlje. Dosad su dva "svemirska turista" ostvarila osmodnevni put i boravak na ISS-u, a američki poslovni čovjek Gregory Olsen bi trebao poletjeti u svemir iduće godine. Ruski planovi predviđaju do četiri "turistička" putovanja u svemir godišnje.
