Space Perspective
Series A in 2021
Space Perspective Inc. is a spaceflight company that offers tourists the opportunity to experience the edge of space through its innovative high-altitude balloon, Neptune. Established in 2019 and headquartered in Merritt Island, Florida, the company operates its first flight center on Florida's Space Coast, strategically located near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The flights launch from the historic runway used by the Space Shuttle. Passengers travel in a pressurized capsule that ascends via a stratospheric balloon, reaching an altitude of several kilometers. They remain at this height for approximately two hours before descending slowly and safely back to Earth, where they splash down in the ocean and are retrieved by a boat. Space Perspective aims to expand its operations to additional launch locations, including Cecil Spaceport in Florida, Hawaii, and Alaska, as part of its mission to facilitate human exploration of space for the benefit of all.
