“In the period 2022–2023, under a favorable set of circumstances, you can count on four seats for commercial participants in space flight,” TASS reports.

The company explained that in each case, the possibility of providing places for tourists not only within the framework of commercial flights, but also in the implementation of already planned space missions is being discussed with Roscosmos.

“We proceed from the assumption that on each Soyuz MS manned transport spacecraft intended for commercial flights into space, two places will be provided for space tourists,” the press service said.

Earlier, Pilot-Cosmonaut Yuri Usachev spoke about the prospects of space tourism.
