SPACE PROJECT SST-6

Space Project SST-6

The Space Project SST-6 (Swiss Space Tourism-6) consists of the organization and realization of a suborbital flight, as part of a scientific and educational program aimed at encouraging children around the world to pay more attention to space and related sciences. A total of 5 seats will be offered for sale to partners/sponsors/schools/universities/enterprises/companies/interested persons in order to fill the spaceship. The 6th seat will be occupied by the Mission Commander, Boris OTTER, who will supervise the various scientific and educational experiments planned before, during and after the flight, such as the study of the symptoms linked to space sickness, the impact of the overview effect on return to Earth, the effect of weightlessness over a period of 3-4 minutes, etc.

As a reminder, the main goals of Swiss Space Tourism are :

  • Support scientific research in the space field.
  • Make members aware of the ecological aspect, the fragility of the planet and the environmental question.
  • Promote Space Tourism in the world.
  • Promote access to space for as many of its active members as possible.
  • Transmit the knowledge acquired in Space Tourism to as many people as possible.
  • To allow its Founding President to realize his dream which is to go into space during a suborbital flight.

So, after dreaming of becoming an Astronaut/ Cosmonaut, Boris OTTER followed a good part of their training, after dreaming of meeting those Space Heroes, he had the privilege to see, meet, listen to and sometimes to discuss with some of the most Legendary of them as :

Private Cosmonaut Training with Boris Otter in Star City, Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Moscow. This is the worst nightmare for all cosmonauts : the vestibular system training, on a rotating chair, turning at 30 rotations per minute and for 10 minutes for real Cosmonauts ! Don’t forget to move your head from left to right at every bip !
