Abstract

"Tourism beyond Atmosphere" refers to any commercial operation that provides customers with direct or indirect space travel experiences. Long-term stays in orbital facilities, short-term orbital or suborbital flights, and even parabolic flights in an aircraft exposing passengers to brief periods of weightlessness are all examples of such activities. Flights into space by private individuals are gaining popularity among the general public. While chartered flights are not yet available, "space tourists" have taken orbital flights on occasion. So far, seven "space tourists" have been flown to the International Space Station ("ISS"), all of whom have been charged a significant sum of money for their participation. In this work, I have attempted to provide a clear and accessible description of Space Tourism. In this paper, the notion of space and space stations is discussed in great detail, as well as the details of the first space station. In this study paper, I also touched on the history and growth of space tourism. This paper also discusses the benefits and drawbacks of space tourism. In addition, I have attempted to analyse the impact of space flight on humanity, as well as the development and future of Space Tourism.
