"Another space tourist to fly to ISS" -- on OCTOBER (!!) Soyuz
All Russian accounts describe the Soyuz launch as "October". NASA
documents still list it as "September 27". WHEN will a launch date be picked, and what are the current alternative dates under consideration? Inquiring minds -- and potential Baykonur tourists -- want to KNOW!! Jim O Another space tourist to fly to ISS MOSCOW, July 6 15:29 (RIA Novosti) - American space tourist Gregory Olsen will fly to the International Space Station (ISS) on a Russian Soyuz-TMA spacecraft with the ninth ISS crew in October, the Russian Federal Space Agency said Wednesday. Agency head Anatoly Perminov met with Gregory Olsen, who has a chance to become only the third space tourist. The first, American Dennis Tito visited the ISS in 2001, while the second, South African Mark Shuttleworth flew to the ISS in 2002. Both paid $20 million for the privilege. |

Company Space Adventures did conclude contract with?Roskomosom? to the flight of its candidate in the composition of?Soyuza-TMA"?. The American businessman of Gregory Olsen simply did not enter into the basic crew? for the first time in tourist understudy appeared. The federal space agency of Russia did conclude contract about the flight to the Russian segment S of?Uchastnika of space flight? from company Space Adventures. As they reported in the press- service of?Roskosmosa?, in the medium the leader of agency Anatoliy perminov met candidate for the flight by the American of Gregory Olsenom, who?imeyet all chances to become the third in the world space tourist?. During October 2005 the businessman from THE USA will leave for space aboard the Russian ship of?Soyuz-TMA?. Olsen will conduct in flight 10 days? 8 of them at the international space station, during peresmenki of crews S -11 and S -12. Cost of flight, according to official data, standard? $20 million. As described Olsen To perminovu, in orbit it will conduct several scientific experiments, with the aid of the infrared camera it will make photographs of the earth's surface and atmosphere, and it also brings together to the station the sprouts of grapes. American businessman hoped to leave for space even in the past year. In the spring of 2004 he arrived to Moscow and passed commission of medical experts in the institute of biomedical problems (IMBP). Specialists allowed Olsena to the preflight training in the Russian center of training cosmonauts (TSPK, the Zvezdni Gorodok), but at the end of June main medical board removed it from the occupations because of the problems with the health. However, businessman did not forego his purpose to fly in orbit. In this year he successfully passed international board of experts, group on questions of crew activity S recommended its into the composition of the 9th expedition of visit, Russian main medical board allowed it to the special trainings, and on 30 May international group on medicine recognized as its suitable for short term space flight. Businessman approached the preparation in the center of training cosmonauts in the Zvezdni Gorodok. How did report Perminovu the representative OF TSPK Maxim kharlamov, now Olsen does study the Russian language, does pass the course of theoretical preparation along the systems of the ship of?Soyuz? and S, and also biomedical preparation and training according to the contingency situations. Businessman himself in the conversation with the leader of?Roskosmosa? it complained, that?na leisure practically does not remain time, but for the party into the golf in Sunday will always be located pair it is hour?. Together with Olsenom the course of preparation in TSPK does pass its understudy? the chapter of the Russian representation of company Space Adventures Sergey kostenko. As it reported to correspondent to?Gazety..Ru?, if not had, until now, of understudies the space tourists, then, beginning from Olsena, the designation of candidate to the replacement becomes required. ?Chto not happened, place remains for Space Adventures?, ? it explained. I.e., the flight, during which the company transfers money to the calculation of?Roskosmosa?, it does take place in any event? will fly either Olsen or Kostenko. Kostenko freely manages English and successfully passed medical examination. To a question to?Gazety..Ru?, he would want to fly, the chapter of the Russian representation Space Adventures it answered: ?Konechno?. The flight of space tourist will become the third in the history S. During April 2001 Space Adventures by agreement with RKK of?Energiya? and by?Rosaviakosmosom? it sent in orbit of the businessman from THE USA of Dennis Tito. The second during May 2002 was mul'timillioner from REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Mark shattlvort. However, the third tourist flight always was torn away: first did not fly singer N`.Sync Lens Bass (his sponsors so they did not transfer to the calculation of the agency of money), then they removed from the flight Of olsena, but on medpokazaniyam they soon abolished flight and Russian businessman of Sergey polonskiy. 07 JULY 09:19 -- Craig Fink Courtesy E-Mail Welcome @ |

First, I express very warm greetings to alina for her contributions here.
My question: If Kostenko flies in place of Olsen, who pays? Nobody? I was told a few months ago that the backup would be Sergey Zhukov. Was that true, once, and if so, what happened? Jim O "Alina Chernoivanova" wrote http://www.gazeta.ru/2005/07/06/oa_163073.shtml |

From http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr The details of the contract between Space Adventures and Olsenom are stored in the secret. This is understandable. But, as I understood, Olesn can not fly only because of the extraordinary situations. If we they occur ourselves company do not bear before it the responsibility: money to it will return neither company nor Roskosmos. So that they not would be istrecheny in I be empty, will fly Kostenko. Possibly, Olsena insured against "nepoleta on S" and so it will be able to return its money from the insurer. |

My understand was that the contracts on previous tourist flights provided
that the tourist paid $20 million, and the Russian side agreed to put the tourist on a rocket, ignite the engines, and leave the ground. I think I assumed that the funds transferred at this time but now realize that I have no material justification for this idea. Perhaps space tourists should devise an escrow clause in the contract so that the funds transfer when they are are earned. |
