The first'tourism program' in Russia for non-astronauts to walk through space was unveiled.

On the 26th, according to local time, foreign media such as Space.com in the United States reported that the world's first civilian traveler will be heading to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2023.

The tourism program was organized by'Energia,' a company belonging to the Russian Federation's Space Agency, in collaboration with the American space tourism company, Space Adventures. According to Energia, there are only two gardens for the space travel, and they will be on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS for 14 days.
The reason why this space travel is particularly popular around the world is that one of the two travelers is the first civilian to get an opportunity to swim outside the ISS and space. The Space Agency of the Russian Federation has officially stated that "one traveler will be able to go out into space with a professionally trained Russian astronaut."

The history of'space tourism' began in 2001 with the great sign of the United States, Dennis Tito, who visited ISS for 20 million dollars (about 24 billion won). Since the launch of the space tourism industry, seven civilian travelers have been flying to the ISS so far.
However, in 2011, as the NASA space shuttle reached its end of life, the space tourism business for the general public was braked. Only the Russian Soyuz spacecraft left the ISS to carry people, because astronauts had to be given priority to board.

However, with the development of technology such as the private company'SpaceX' sending NASA astronauts to the ISS, the Russian Federation's Space Agency resumed its tourism program in over a decade. Since it's been a long time in space travel, the policy is to provide travelers with an opportunity to swim in space through intensive and intensive pre-training.

Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson said, "If a civilian, not an astronaut, successfully completes a spacewalk, it will greatly contribute to a more active civilian space flight."
