A company in France has also entered the "race" of space tourism. From 2025, the French company Zephalto will give the world the opportunity to travel to the stratosphere in a space balloon instead of the sum of 120,000 euros per person.
"I collaborated with the French space agency and we worked together on the design of the space balloon," says aeronautical engineer and Zephalto founder Vincent Fare d'Astier.

Luxury in the stratosphere
His company has decided to operate 60 flights a year, with only 6 passengers per flight. Zephalto will bring an essence of French sophistication to the space: fine food, wine and interior design will be offered to those who can pay the six-figure price tag.
In fact, the interior design of the space balloon was undertaken by Joseph Durand, the French designer behind the Valmain and Givency stores in Paris, as well as the chic restaurants Loulou and Monsieur Bleu.

Ziphalto gjithashtu dëshiron të ofrojë kuzhinë të nivelit Michelin për pasagjerët e saj, megjithëse ende nuk ka gjetur një kuzhinier. Ndërsa ata do të kenë pamjen e mrekullueshme të Tokës në 'pjatë', WiFi do të jetë gjithashtu i disponueshëm në mënyrë që pasagjerët të mund të ndajnë përvojën me miqtë e tyre. Më në fund, një psikolog do të jetë i disponueshëm përpara fluturimit.
Deri më tani, Zephalto ka kryer tre fluturime testuese, por asnjëri prej tyre nuk ka arritur lartësinë 25 kilometra. Kur të përfundojnë të gjitha testet, balona hapësinore e Zephalto do të marrë certifikimin e linjës ajrore nga Agjencia Evropiane e Sigurisë së Aviacionit.

Udhëtim vajtje-ardhje në hapësirë ??në 6 orë
Balona hapësinore do të mbushet me helium ose hidrogjen, do të ngrihet nga Franca me dy pilotë dhe do të arrijë një lartësi prej 25 kilometrash mbi tokë (tre herë më e lartë se lartësia e fluturimeve konvencionale). Udhëtimi në stratosferë do të zgjasë 1.5 orë.
Balona do të qëndrojë në lartësinë maksimale për tre orë, duke i lejuar pasagjerët të ndihen si astronautë. Kthimi në Tokë do të zgjasë rreth 1.5 orë. Kohëzgjatja totale e gjithë eksperiencës do të jetë 6 orë.
“Ne zgjodhëm 25 kilometra sepse kjo është lartësia ku jeni në errësirën e hapësirës, ??me 98% të atmosferës poshtë jush. Kështu që ju mund të shijoni lakimin e Tokës. Me fjalë të tjera, ju jeni në hapësirë, por pa gravitet zero”, shpjegon Fare d'Astieu.
Competition in space tourism
Zephalto is not the only company offering space balloon rides. American Space Perspectives will offer from 2024 trips up to 30.5 kilometers from the Earth's surface and with a cheaper ticket (114,087.50 euros).
After all, there have already been private trips to "space" on rockets from Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
Unlike its competitor, Zephalto offers landings on Land rather than sea, along with a luxury package. Traveling in space balloons is much quieter and less dangerous than traveling in rockets, and no training is required.
Balloons that reach the atmosphere have been used by scientists and meteorologists since the 1930s and will slowly begin to be used for space tourism.
