According to the Space Adventures company, a space tourist who is the first among non-professional participants of the flight to go into outer space will pay several million dollars more

MOSCOW, September 26. /TASS/. The cost of a flight to the ISS on the Soyuz spacecraft is about $50 million. This was announced to journalists on Sunday by the head of the representative office of Space Adventures in Russia, Sergey Kostenko.

"The price is the same as everywhere else - around 50 million, plus or minus this price," Kostenko said.

According to him, a space tourist who is the first among the non-professional participants of the flight to go into outer space will pay several million dollars more. "It makes the flight more expensive. Not twice. This is some reasonable money. The question is about additional millions, " Kostenko said.

According to the head of the representative office, this amount will cover the objective costs that will arise, including the cost of operating the spacesuit resource.

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).
