Need a Ride to Orbit? Call Spaceflight Services

SPACEFLIGHT SERVICES PRESS RELEASE

Spaceflight Services (Spaceflight) announced its participation in the Rocket City Space Pioneers Google Lunar X-Prize Team. Responsible for mission integration and providing space transportation services to Low Lunar Orbit, Spaceflight is also offering flight opportunities for small payloads to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and Low Lunar Orbit (LLO).

As part of its approach, Spaceflight is announcing flight opportunities for ESPA class spacecraft (spacecraft weighing less than 180 kg) interested in launch services to GTO and Low Lunar Orbit. The proposed mission, which is slated for Q4 2013 or Q1 2014, will deploy three ESPA payloads into a Geosyncrhonous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and two additional payloads in a Low Lunar Orbit. The mission is also open to smaller spacecraft looking for a low cost ride.

“We are very excited to be able to offer this unique opportunity,” said Jason Andrews, President and CEO of Spaceflight Services. “We have a number of low Earth orbit flight options but this is the first we’ve been able to offer beyond LEO, and I believe it’s the first dedicated commercial mission to the Moon.”

“The commercial rideshare approach Spaceflight offers provides truly revolutionary space access,” continued Andrews. “This is an International mission that is open to any company or government organization looking to get to low Lunar orbit.”
