Our Mission is Your Mission

www.UniversalSpaceSystems.com
The one and only source for the newly developing Space Tourism Industry!

Everyone has a dream to be able to take a trip into space without having to becoming an American Astronaut, a Russian Cosmonaut or a Chinese Taikonaut. In May of 2001, that dream became a reality for American businessman and former National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) engineer, Dennis Tito when he became the world's first paying customer by purchasing an eight day "vacation trip" to and from the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz-U space vehicle for approximately $20,000,000 (USD).

A lot has happened since then because now there are a number of cost effective ways under development to safely transport people to and from the edge of space* for a fraction of the cost that Dennis Tito paid. Studies show that 70% of Americans would buy a flight into space if they had the chance and the cost was reasonable. We are Universal Space Systems, LLC (USS) and making people aware of commercial space travel as passengers aboard a space vehicle on a sub-orbital or orbital spaceflight** is what we do. The purpose of this Web site and our companion Web sites is to focus in on a single aspect of space – commercial space travel for the rest of us non-astronauts, or Space Tourism (ST) as it is commonly referred to. We intend to be THE single source of information for anything and everything happening in this newly emerging and developing space industry. We offer a completely independent and unbiased picture of ST with our Web sites and our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report. Our intent is to be both a Guide Dog as well as a Watch Dog. We are the first to provide this type of information and we will be the best at doing it.

(See all our Products/Services - We also can help Travel Agencies and Space Tourism Companies!)

Our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report is THE definite reference guide for future "space tourists". 

Check here for the latest status on the Space Adventurer Assessment/Report.

Our mission is to make your dream of becoming a "space tourist" a reality too. This can only be accomplished by providing you with the latest, accurate information affecting the Space Tourism Industry so you can make the right choice for your space travel plans. Don't be fooled by other sites on the Internet that make claims to be the first or the #1 or the official Space Tourism site because those claims are false. You need to trust who is providing you information (check out Who We Are). 

The Space Tourism Industry is not regulated like the airline industry. Current rules will permit "space tourists" to fly in these new space vehicles now under development as long as they do so in full knowledge of the risks involved. You make monetary decisions with a financial advisor. You make health decisions with a medical specialist. Why would you settle for making your own decision on a space adventure that involves both your money and your health? We want you to make the right decision - an informed, intelligent decision that is right for you. The best way to accomplish this goal is with our Space Adventurer Assessment/Report for less than the cost of a dinner at your favorite restaurant.

Why go to space?
(Answer)

Take the time to review this Web site, and our "satellite" Web sites***, and see what is happening in the Space Tourism industry, what we are currently doing, learn about spaceport complexes (www.UniversalSpaceports.com), space vehicles (www.UniversalSpaceships.com) and then check out how you can earn your Astronaut Wings by visiting www.UniversalSpaceTours.com or  www.UniversalSpacelines.com. There is no time like the present to experience the thrill of a lifetime by going on an adventure unlike anything you have ever been on before. Space travel, however, isn't for everyone because there are certain risks associated with spaceflight but if you meet the requirements there should be nothing to stop you from becoming a space tourist! This Web site along with our "satellite" Web sites will be developing right along side with the industry that we support so expect frequent changes - visit us again soon and visit us often.

Be sure to check out all the links at the top, left-hand side of this Web page.

*Edge of space = altitude of 328,000 feet; 62.5 miles, 100 kilometers (Internationally recognized boundary by The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale).

**A sub-orbital spaceflight refers to a mission that flies out of the atmosphere and reaches the edge of space but does not reach the speeds needed to sustain continuous orbiting of the earth. Here the view from a sub-orbital flight is similar to being in orbit and a space traveler can experience up to three minutes of weightlessness, but the cost and risks are far less. An entire mission from launch to landing may last from 1.5 to 3 hours. An orbital spaceflight continues beyond the edge of space with enough velocity to orbit the earth.

*** The "satellite" Universal Space Systems Web sites are currently “Under Construction” and are in various states of being completed. Not all features may be available or functioning properly. A notice will be posted on this Web site upon their completion.
