The price for a ticket to space has been named

It will be possible to fly into space on a Delta ship manufactured by Virgin Galactic for $ 600 thousand per person. This is reported by SpaceNews with reference to the head of the American company, Michael Colgaser.


According to the plans, Delta should enter commercial operation in 2026. One vehicle is designed for six passengers.

Virgin Galactic plans to transport 750 people per year for the first time. The company estimates the profit from the project at $95-110 million per year.

In the "expanded fleet" model with four spaceships and two parent aircraft at the spaceport, Virgin Galactic will be able to perform about 275 flights per year, generating $990 million in revenue.


In the future, a second spaceport in Europe or the Middle East may be added, Virgin Galactic admits. Then the project will bring the business $1.98 billion a year.
