Space Four civilians will orbit the Earth for three days
The first flight in history manned only by non-professional civilian personnel,
without astronauts,
the Inspiration 4 mission took
off this morning from
Cape Kennedy
.
About the scheduled time, which was 2:02 in Spain, the ship started up into the sky and in less than three minutes it reached the incredible speed of 7,000 km / h.
Then he dropped the main rocket, already at a height of more than 100 kilometers.
The four people participating in this three-day space mission are a millionaire businessman and pilot, a scientist, a former military data engineer, and a cancer survivor medical assistant.
They star in the first orbital mission in which only civilians travel.
It is also the first flight of the
Crew Dragon
spacecraft
, with
no professional astronauts on its crew.
During the pre-takeoff broadcast, one of the presenters described the crew thus: "These are people like you and me."
These space tourists will make history by orbiting the Earth for three days, after reaching a height of about 575 kilometers, which is also much higher than that of the
International Space Station (ISS),
which is at 400.
Throughout this space trip, it will be used to
collect biomedical data
from all kinds of crew members to help clarify doubts about the reaction of the human body in space in the case of people who have not had a specific training as astronauts.
