MOSCOW, September 26. /TASS/. The company Space Adventures, which promotes space tourism on the Russian "Soyuz", plans to offer customers a flyby of the Moon. This was announced to journalists on Sunday by the head of the company's representative office in Russia, Sergey Kostenko.

"Maybe we'll move on to the moon flyby project. While we are thinking about it. We want to enter the market being ready, " Kostenko said.

According to the representative of the company, this is a difficult issue that will require further development of the ship, including its communication systems, thermal protection.

At the same time, Kostenko found it difficult to answer the question whether it will be possible to get ahead of Elon Musk, who also plans to send tourists to fly around the moon.

From 2001 to 2009, eight short-term flights were performed to the Russian segment of the ISS under contracts with Space Adventures Inc. The station was visited by Americans Dennis Tito (2001), Greg Olsen (2006), Anyushe Ansari (2006), Richard Garriott (2008) and Charles Simoni (2007 and 2009), Briton Mark Shuttleworth (2002) and Canadian Guy Laliberte (2009).
