Page "Space tourism" Paragraph 19

On January 12, 2011, Space Adventures and the Russian Federal Space Agency announced that orbital space tourism would resume in 2013 with the increase of manned Soyuz launches to the ISS from four to five per year.

However, this has not materialized, and the current preferred option, instead of producing an additional Soyuz, would be to extend the duration of an ISS Expedition to one year.

This could happen in 2015, paving way for the flight of new spaceflight participants.

The name of British singer Sarah Brightman has been mentioned for such an assignment.
